Video Parenthetical Girls Visit the Cake Shop

Posted by Ezra Ace Caraeff on Fri, Oct 3, 2008 at 9:21 AM

The punctual folks at Punkcast filmed, and posted, last night's Parenthetical Girls performance of "Avenue Of Trees" at the Cake Shop in New York City.

Only sort of a bakery (Is that right? I remember the venue being really small and there being cupcakes everywhere.), the Cake Shop crowd was treated to frontman Zac Pennington (a former Mercury word pusher) perusing the audience while crooning about "sunbleached symmetries" atop the band's decadent and dandy pop music.

But, alas, on this video there was not a slice of cake to be found anywhere.

Zac's bringing back the cordless. I don't know why, but when bandmembers roam into the crowd, I have this thing where I refuse to turn my head and follow them. I just stare at the space on the stage and wait for them to return.

also, portraits of past played at the cake shop recently - http://zen-face-punch.blogspot.com/2008/09… - and apparently it was packed to the gills and people dared not nod their heads to the opening bands (which bugs me... esp. since Off Minor is quite a noddable band).

What struck me as the real icing on the cake at this show was Rachael's deadpan sense of humor, but yes I didn't include that in the video.
