rone | gig review: the drift @ great american music hall

On Friday, i finally got to see bebopmonkey's band The Drift. They were opening for World's End Girlfriend and Mono. I didn't recognize the first song, but they then played "Invisible Cities", "Transatlantic", and closed with "Gardening, Not Architecture". During the break, i said hi to Safa and introduced him to Kim. After the break, WEG played disjointed, loud guitar that quickly became obnoxious, so Kim and i left to get some food; we stopped a block up O'Farrell at Thai Stick 4.0, where i had some fabulous garlic calamari. We then walked back to check out Mono, but the noise was so brutally loud just walking through the front doors that we got our parking ticket validated and went home. Despite the disappointment of the two latter bands, seeing The Drift was a lot of fun.
