Stoned and Starving

Parquet Courts

Friday night in June 2013. Thunderstorm hits early in the evening. Power outage across Minneapolis. The skies clear. I ride the bus through dark streets to the Triple Rock. West Bank still has power.

The bass player of Parquet Courts is headbanging aggressively as they burn through their nascent catalog. He’s headbanging much harder than you just imagined.

Best stage banter I ever heard.

If you pay our drummer after the show he’ll probably eat glass. Dude eats nothing but glass and McDoubles.

Stoned and Starving.

One song per day. Two hundred words or less.
