We went to see Leslie and the Ly's on Saturday night.
She's one of my favorite things/people. She's an amazing performer, her props and background videos are hilarious, and her merch table always woos me.
I got this t-shirt:
Leslie is now threatening P. Diddy's game and has created her own bands. The two opening acts are comprised of members of her band. Genius. Ramona and the Swimsuits and Pennyhawk.
Mona Bones, formerly a Leslie Hall backup dancer, has really stepped-up her game and was the lead singer of Ramona and the Swimsuits. We are throwing down the $5 to get that album, mostly for the song that's about Karen's dad taping COPS over her first grade talent show. It's a super-good song.
We were so happy the tiger heads came out.
Here's a geeked-out me with Mona at a show about two years ago:
I just love it so much that these girls rock the stage and rock the mic so hard and get people to go nuts for them. Just walking around, one would probably not assume that Ramona is a badass entertainer, but oh, she is.
I have better old pics here.
If you have small children and think you recognize Leslie, she has toured with Yo Gabba Gabba as herself.

I heart you...I'm terribly homesick for Iowa right now and this made me smile so much! I love Leslie and I've known Mona since we were in art school together. I need to get on their mailing list so I know when they perform in NYC.
ReplyDeleteThanks for helping my homesickness, just a bit.
Thank you Mama for making me gold pants! They are awesome-they did a video in a pizza joint near my house in JP and ended up getting kicked out of there-so friggin' funny!
ReplyDeleteI had to include the link b/c I just watched it again and most of it is filmed on the Centre Street/Boylston corner and my house is actually in one of the shots-JP all day, every day!

The fact that someone commented on MY silly little blog from a house that appears in a Leslie Hall video is Major! I might put that on my resume. Love you for sending me this. HOw does it only have 13k views?
