Fancy-boy Antics
For those keeping a list of all the wonderful things we've lost to Portland, add Zac Pennington's Parenthetical Girls, who played their CD release show at the Sunset Tavern last Saturday night to a bewildered, awestruck audience. Zac tortured us all with stern instructions, haunting story songs, and a set arrangement both childish and sophisticated. His foppish, fancy-boy antics were riveting, as he howled and swayed like a pubescent Jarvis Cocker. The new record, Safe as Houses is one of this year's best. Pitchfork loves 'em. Why don't you?

Was that the band where Jeff wore sparkly tights?
Actually, they were called: "Foppish Fancy-Boy and the Portholes." Jeff was in that band when he lived in Bellingham. I know they played with Death Cab a few times up there. I think they only released one 7" single.
I saw that single on a vinyl trading website once... I tried to negotiate for a trade, but couldn't swing it. That shit is rare!!
