i walked into the casbah about 7 years ago to see cinerama play. me and lindsey went early cause we were real thirsty back then. there was no one there, except for the opening band who was already in mid set. five girls staring stoically into space, swaying to their own sad songs. it was love at first sound and i wasn't even drunk yet. me and lindsey just looked at each other, saying without saying "holy crap, what just happened"
it was the organ.
they've broken up since then. i think we both pretty much wished we were lesbians that night.
the lead singer, katie sketch.
but the point of my story, is this AMAZING song i found a while back. it's katie singing with a band called mermaids.. i've tried to find more stuff but it looks like they just played a couple times in 2007.if anyone knows how to get in touch with more music or katie herself, please let me know. i'd die to get this song on our next compilation cd.
