In the last two and a half weeks I’ve seen Dillinger Four’s “Doublewhiskeycokenoice” twice, which is about 200% more than average. Last night it was at the Victory Lounge by Gentlemen Prefer Blood from Los Angeles. In this very same venue a few months ago I was hanging out with my friend Tony, and playing the occasional pinball game. I was mid flip when a girl he knew came in. I over heard them talking. She was tired and had a long, stressful day. He offered to buy her a drink and she asked for a double whiskey coke. Tony’s knee jerk response was “No ice?,” to which she said, “No, ice is fine.” I quickly managed to trap the pinball on a flipper and look at him. There was no way I could play well when I’m laughing that hard about a pop punk joke that went over this poor girl’s head. My friends are completely ridiculous in the best way.

The other time this month that I heard that stiff drink of a song was by Dillinger Four themselves. My mere thirty years of pulling air means that I’ve only been able to see bar shows for nine of those. This, coupled with my geographic misfortune of not living in the Midwest means that I miss a lot of my favorite bands. I think it’s the weather that helps make the tunes I really love. The Northwest, which has been my home since 1996, is responsible for some incredibly beautiful and morose lyrics. With their extreme summers and bitter winters, the Midwest is no stranger to this either. So this was the first time I’d ever seen D4, on our nation’s birthday, AKA D4th of July. I’m about to submit my live review of this magical weekend of music wherein I saw sixteen bands and three comedians to Razorcake for their website. But before I referenced my infrequent blog, I figured I should throw some words at it. These are those. And as a teaser, here’s an excerpt from said piece:

“Contrary to their live reputation, D4 played tight and serious. That’s not to say that there wasn’t any goofiness. Early on in the set, Paddy requested that four shots of Jameson be brought to the stage. As Eric tried to decline, a hand clenching a fifth of Jameson emerged from the front of the crowd. Shots were cancelled and the band drank straight from the bottle. Don’t let the six foot tall stage, barriers, and security guards fool you; we were still at a fucking punk show at the Triple Rock. They prefaced “Folk Song” as being about making your own success even if it’s in a shitty town. Directly after that Paddy realized that Lifter Puller only got popular after they left Minneapolis and promised to never play that song again. Almost all the banter came from Mr. Costello - he thanked baby Jesus, and proclaimed that Toys That Kill and Tenement are the best current punk bands in America. The only regret I have about their set is that they didn’t play “Twenty-One Said Three Times Quickly” on their Twenty-first birthday. Really guys? I thought that’d be a given, now that they’re twenty-oooooone. And I know that “Gainsville” is about Fest, but I couldn’t help to attribute every feeling in that ballad to the ones I was having at D4th. It felt like October in the Summer.”
