[DID NOT ATTEND: May 13, 2022] The Lemon Twigs / Tchotchke [rescheduled from May 16, 2020]
I discovered The Lemon Twigs a few years ago and really enjoyed their glam rock sound and I imagined that they would be a ton of fun live. The band is technically a duo, although I don’t know if they have more people on stage with them.
I really liked The Lemon Twigs’ Do Hollywood album and their follow up EPs showed even more development. Since then they have put out a few albums, and I have enjoyed them.
I have rather wanted to see them–this new tour, which was playing at TWO locations really close to me seemed to be an easy way to catch them.
We had a school day scheduled for this day and it ran much longer than I imagined, so even though I had tickets, there was no way to get to the show.
Tchotchke is a band from New York comprised of Anastasia Sanchez, Eva Chambers and Emily Tooraen. They used to be called Pinky Pinky which I think is a much more apt name for the style of music they play–it’s a kind of an updated doo-wop, pop sheen aesthetic.
Really not my thing, although I heard that if you went to their merch booth after the show they handed out a tchotchke to each person.
