gabe I and saw the smashing pumpkins tonight at stööniversal citywalk – after driving around for a while, we were lucky to find a space in jurassic parking …

a little vosotros trivia for you … my first rock concert ever was the pumpkins – Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness Tour at the Rosemont Horizon in Chicago!  my dad took my brother moo-daddy, my friend ceck cennett, and I.  epic evening … one might say it launched my music career…

my friend gingger was playing violin tonight and was nice enough to introduce me to billy corgan after the show – i told him the story of my first concert – all he said to me was “1996″

but i wanted more closure than that … on the way out, i walked up to him again and extended my fist for a fist bump … as he reciprocated the bump with a bump-back, i looked him in the eye and said “rosemont horizon” … hell ya

in other news, the grammy nominations were announced tonight:

Sunset Junction is this weekend … and lucky for me I live 1 block away!  And lucky for you-all, vosotros will be making three (count it –> 3) appearances around the festival.  In celebration of their 2 year anniversary, the fine folks at Found Gallery will be hosting thirteen free performances throughout the weekend – including Sunday’s lineup of all cover sets.  In addition to our doubleheader at Found, check out vosotros at El Cid on Saturday at 4pm!!

buenos tardes a vosotros-

•Mooey Moobau tonight!!

The third installment of the Obi Best residency at Tangier is tonight, and Mooey Moobau will be performing alongside Readers and (naturally) Obi Best.  I would describe Mooey’s music as David Byrne meets Picasso.  It’s wild! Joe is a super-talented, super-creative cat. He is also a noted speech pathologist. His most recent record, entitled “All Murmur of Our Mother’s Waters” is a sonic journey and definitely worth checking out.  Order it here!!!

And stay tuned for a mooey moobau/vosotros collab affectionately refered to as moosotros…

•First Bass!

Last October, Vosotros was hired to score a short film about a young bass player and Chicago Cubs fan, and her audition for a prestigious music school. Naturally this movie hit close to home personally (bass! Chicago!). And little did we know that the creators were submitting the short to festivals all around the U.S.A.!!! And now we’ve been nominated for an award!!
