#Anberlin! *swoon*

Talk Nerdy To Me Lover's LikesGoyBoys

It's official: @JenFriel (aka #HotLips/That Nerdy Girl) and I love ourselves some Anberlin! Especially acoustic, intimate Anberlin. Oh, baby. 

Our friends at Ultimate Ears let us amble up to the Logitech Loft at Watermarke Tower in Downtown Los Angeles last night for 5 Anberlin tracks; they ran the gamut from "Impossible", the song that's pumping in your radios courtesy of folks like my boy Kade at 98.7FM, to older tracks, like "Paperthin Hymn". We're going to get down and dirty with Anberlin's latest album, "Dark Is The Way, Light Is The Place" for all you #nerds, and we've got some copies of the album to give away!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We even have some Ultimate Ears 100 headphones up for grabs! 

 

 

 

 

Thanks to everyone who made last night possible, especially Anberlin for being an accessible, awesome group of guys. I hope their tour kicks ass. Did you know that they do a mighty fine cover of "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" by The Smiths? To tide you over for the rest of our Anberlin Extravaganza, I leave you with a cover of Danzig's "Mother" from last night. Sorry the lighting wasn't terrific, it was all about taking it down a few notches last night and chilling, which meant bright lights weren't part of the equation! It still sounds killer. Yeah, son, I shot this!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

@LikesGoyBoys likes @Anberlin so much that she's going to give you a track-by-track review of their new album, as well as give it away to some of you lucky nerds! Tell her thanks on Twitter. You can check out DefyAuthority.NET while you're at it.

Yo, #LA ... like #Anberlin???

Just got invited for an acoustic set and listening party for Anberlin on Thursday here in LA. SOOOOOOO ... I try to invite as many people to these things as possible, hence the open postings, so if you're interested in attending I gotta get a tweet, or Facebook post from you today letting me know you're down.

 

 

Starts at 8 will prolly go until around 10ish. Will def get more info once I email the el nerderino back. But yeah, requirement is, I gotta get a post from you on your experience. Don't get all "rock journalist" either, unless you consider yourself a rock journalist. A nerd's adventure hanging with Anberlin is plenty entertaining. I just like to keep it real. So, let me know what's up!

Location to be announced, but LA based

 

RSVP: Tweet me, or Facebook my butt

 

 I'll just ask too that if I've taken you to something in the last few weeks, to give someone else a chance. Thanks nerds!!!
