DIY Street Fair

I saw two bands at the DIY Street Fair in Ferndale last night. If the DIY website is to be trusted, the name of the first band was 'Outrageous Cherry.' A particularly suggestive title considering both the drummer and bassist appear to be of fetchingly non-consensual ages.


Once you pop the fun don't stop.
(Oh, that's really bad. I actually feel ashamed.)


Then came 'Goober and the Peas.' I don't know how to feel about this one. They were an entertaining act, and yet...


The band thinks less of the crowd for showing up.


Afterwards we stopped in at a bar where they didn't serve my kind. Ordering a beer turned out to be too complex a transaction for me to complete without assistance and since no one had an abacus and there was only one copy of Lenin's summary of Hegelian dialectics to go around, I remained thirsty.


Another Goober advertises his wares.


In conclusion: Someone needs to knock Ferndale down off its high horse. And I'm just the man to do it!

  1. How did I manage to not run into you? Probably the ominously wall-to-wall crowd, I'm guessing. I've seen Outrageous Cherry a number of times, most notably back in the old days of the early 2000s, when I'd see them open for Sonic Youth or Yo La Tengo.
