My dear friend Amateur Chemist has introduced me to quite a few bands over the years, but there are a few that I have totally fallen in love with and for that, I will forever be grateful to him. The Presets are, without a doubt, one of these bands. It started with me inquiring about the shirt he was wearing one night (I love skulls) and I was never the same.Most people are a bit surprised to find that I like The Presets, given my usual taste in music and concerts, but it's as simple as this:
1) I love synths.
2) You can never go wrong with boys from Australia.
3) Sometimes a girl has just gotta shake her ass.
I was bummed when I first found out that this show was on the same night of the second Queens of the Stone Age show. However, after the events that occurred the first night (see previous blog post for reference), I decided that fate had determined my course - I sold my QOTSA tix easily (for face value; karma is a bitch) and bought tix for The Presets.
I had a lot riding on this show... after the awful time the night before I needed The Presets to save me. And they did. I danced to the point that I was sweaty and let the music take me over. By the end of the night, the events of the night before were but a memory and I was left longing for a new album and tour from my two Aussies.
