Okay so there we were at Slims at a show headlined by the recently reunited Far, when 3 girls take the stage. Their name: Hot Tub. Their sound, JJ Fad on crack. (HWA on crack would be better, but I doubt anyone remembers HWA. Sadly I do). Their stage show, 2 Live Crew on crack. A strange act to open up for Far, but whatever. At least it was something different. I'd never heard of Hot Tub before but it looks like they're starting to make a name for themselves. They're going to touring with the Ting Tings which is a pretty big tour for 3 girls from Oakland. Personally, it wasn't for me, but check out their Myspace page and maybe you'll dig them.
Oh and as for Far, they were great. They played quite a bit off Water and Solutions, and a little bit off Tin Cans. Of course they played "Pony" in the encore. They didn't play anything new, so I don't know if they're making another record or not. However just being able to see them one more time felt good. It was almost like getting some closure for me. I was such a big fan of this band.
