Tonight! El Perro Del Mar - Tonight!
Posted by on Fri, May 16 at 12:24 PM
The blogs, the critics, and your mother this paper all can’t seem to stop talking about Lykke Li. With all this chatter about her going around it’s sometimes hard to remember that she is only the opener on tonight’s excellent bill. Why is she only opening? Because El Perro Del Mar is headlining!
Oh, El Perro Del Mar, is it possible for me to love you even more than I do? I don’t think so. I really don’t. With your girl-group sound, your “oohs” and “aahs”, your sadness: it all just sounds so perfect together, so cold yet somehow warm at the same time. Screw all of Lykke Li’s blog hype. For reals. You and I both know who the true queen of tonight’s show will be.
El Perro Del Mar, Lykke Li, and Anna Ternheim play the Doug Fir tonight!

I thought that El Perro played the Borders, but not Lykke. As for payment, I imagine it was free, just a record industry thing where the store has an increased "buy-in". We had the show listed in our paper, I think people just don't associate that book store with instores, or even Portland. In fact, I have no idea where Borders is in town.

My mistake about Lykke playing it. My friend who described this to me said there was another artist (that he missed) - we were riding bikes when he told me this, and I thought he said it was Lykke, but I wasn't sure. He said it was another 6'1" beautiful Swede.
I have a border's gift certificate that I need to use - so I'll start scouting around for their location.

A friend of mine saw El Perro Del Mar and Lykke Li play at Borders over the weekend, to about ten people. Well, I think it was sometime over the weekend... I didn't get the exact date. Why wasn't this advertised? How much money were they paid? What's the scoop, End Hits?!
