Last Wednesday, I went to one of the best concerts of my entire life. Holy Ghost followed by Hercules & Love Affair followed by Hot Chip. Everything about the show was amazing, including the people I was with. We danced all night, I don’t think there was a moment where we were still. I was engulfed by the heavy smoke around me. Although we were outside, Central Park Summer Stage felt like a tiny, smoky, dark club. Although I don’t smoke, and smoke usually bothers me (not ethically or morally, but I literally start to get a headache) somehow, this night, nothing mattered. I felt great and danced my ass off and by the end of the night I was drenched in sweat as was everyone around me. Everyone left that concert with a smile on their faces. Every band was better than the last and Hot Chip absolutely killed it. However, as the post is titled, this is about Hercules & Love Affair.

The musical project, or love child as I like to think of it, of DJ Andy Butler, Hercules & Love Affair is comprised of Andy and Kim Ann Foxman, and of a rotating cast of characters. The band has a stage presence like I have never seen, it’s a mix of electro-dance-80′s-disco-underground-club-crazy-ness, it’s just perfect. Because I suck at ever bringing my camera anywhere, I am borrowing these pictures from the concert from Boom Boom Chik (Hope you don’t mind, but if you do, let me know!)

Also, since this is primarily a fashion blog (blah blah blah), let’s not forget to mention how adorable they all are and how much we love their style!

So Bush is back! I haven’t heard any of their new stuff yet, but I have (coincidentally) been listening to their old stuff nonstop, and lo and behold I hear they have reunited. They were one of my favorite 90′s bands, and still are one of my favorite bands in general. I can’t really listen to too many bands at one time, it’s just this thing that I do, I get obsessed with one band at a time (or re-obsessed in this case). So basically, all I’ve listened for the past month, and all I will listen to for probably at least another month, will be Bush, peppered with an odd song from another band here and there (like one other song a week, to mix it up). I don’t know why, but it’s kind of the way I am with clothes, books, movies. I get really obsessed with a pair of shoes and wear them non-stop till they’re completely worn out on the bottom. I’m trying to stop, because it’s both bad for your feet and your shoes. Anyway, enough with my compulsions, check Bush out:

Let’s get the weekend rolling.

I meant to post this last night but..you know how things go.
