Head Like a Kite on the Brink
February 12th, 2009
It looks like Seattle is returning to it’s status as king of all that is real.. or at least reality. You might remember a little show called The Real World.. then there was the Bachelor and NOW one of our faves, Head Like a Kite is the focus of a little show called On the Brink. It features HLAK being followed on tour and being given wacky missions. Minus the more than slightly obvious advertising edge it’s pretty hilarious and most importantly.. it shows just how incredible these guys are live.
.
Here’s the final episode filmed in our fine emerald city. It features them playing at a middle school assembly, where the kids were screaming so loud they could hardly hear the music. HLAK had about 10 fog machines going, and confetti blowing everywhere in their lunch room. It had all the ingredients of crazy. We were in Elvis jumpsuits with boas. The kids went ape. They danced like it was 1999. Beautiful. Great shots of them playing Neumos, too. Plus a prom party kegger. Reality Show mayhem

To top it off, Head Like a Kite is playing a FREE show at the Snoqualmie Casino on Thursday, March 5 at 8PM with TRUCKASAURAS. Live indie rock remixed by an electronic band at a casino? This chould be epic. Get more info here: www.snocasino.com.

That is the first time I’ve heard any of their music, and now I can’t stop streaming it off their myspace page. Kevin, thanks for the introduction.

hey, I went to that show at the end of the video. It was a blast. I even got to dance with a green furry dinosaur. HLAK brings on the entourage like nobody else. I’m also still cleaning up the confetti from that night 3 months ago.

Umm, can I say ‘bella, bella’ (god I hate those snoqualmie commercials), but due to the wonder that is my new flex time schedule, I think I just might have that friday off after the snoqualmie show. Who’s coming with me??!!
