All stars/All hearts

Thanks to Maria (a noise/'hard' music enthusiast) for booking The Leah Quinelle All-Stars featuring Happy last week at the Che. The first song shows off the attributes of the group:
1) They publish a weekly zine, even while on the road.
2) They are generally unkempt in the fashion of any respectable, self sustainable person.
3) They heart-circled the faces of all the boys they had kissed in Razorcake Magazine (a number greater than 5 and less than 10).
4) They exhibit both regional AND familial pride.
5) Rough around the edges with a penny whistle solo inside.

As much as I really want Leah Quinelle to make it/break/achieve conventional success, I'm certain that the hype will never wash over them. And yet The Love Song trumps any Pipettes song writing and smashes a pie in the face of any stupid self-centered dipshit of a band, press kit in hand, that 'goes into the studio' to record their 'sophomore effort'. Despite the fact that the numbers were low during their set at the Che (greater than 5 but less than 10), Leah Quinelle + friends certainly have achieved great plains of unconventional success. Furthermore, I'm pretty sure that not only are they aware of this success, they are also constantly satisfied by it as they continue their forever tour, happily photocopying weekly issue of various zines along the way.
