I just gotta say that local band Mon Frere put on a totally stellar performance last night at El Corazon. Not only did the old songs sound even better as vocalist Nouela Johnston’s pipes keep getting stronger, but the band played a couple new songs that proved their best material is yet to come. They start recording their debut full-length today, I believe, and they’re shooting for an early spring 2006 release date. In the mean time, pick up their latest, Real Vampires EP, on Cake Records.

And perhaps you saw the new MTV show “Homewreckers” last night? Ryan Dunn (so hot) hosts the show where they remodel homes in the name of revenge. The theme song is none other than Kane Hodder’s “Aboard the Leper Colony.” Nice work, boys.
