Fishboy @ Sons of Herman Hall

Openers: The Tah-Dahs, Cordelane, The Happy Bullets

I went to the Fishboy CD release show at the Sons of Herman Hall in Deep Ellum tonight with Amy, her sister and one of her sister's friends. Fishboy's new CD is called "Little D" and is a tribute to and inspired by Denton, Texas. At the beginning of the Fishboy set, he brought out a bunch of his friends dressed up as the landmarks of Denton, Texas. There is something incredibly funny about a person dressed up in a cardboard box made to look like a building with their arms sticking out the side. Fact: the film Necessary Roughness was filmed in Denton. I think that movie is only notable for the role played by supermodel and SI swimsuit covergirl Kathy Ireland and her flirty shower scene.

The Fishboy set was great, Sons of Herman Hall is really groovy and if you don't know who Fishboy is, you really need to check out his CDs. He has a full band on this album, so keyboardist Sweatpants and drummer Slapbracelet are joined by High-C, who plays bass and tube among other instruments. Seriously. It's good.
