Getting Inspired with Aaron from Chairlift
CMJ was a cuckoo week. Completely frankily, I still haven’t recovered. I was masterly to see a stock amount of bands lodge, but I was also fortuitous enough to check out a few of my new and favorite upcoming bands.
On example Tuesday afternoon, I had the occasion likelihood of seeing Brooklyn-by-way-of Colorado group, Chairlift, manoeuvre a starring show at Piano’s. I arrived a few minutes into their set and already, the company was out the door. It was verbatim overloaded like a sardine can. The combination was eminent on concoct bringing their come out note ‘Does You Waken You’ to existence. Never have I seen a border that early in their job be so cohesive on Thespianism. Everything about their effectuation was virgin…and that was only their first CMJ show of the week (and day).
After the show, I had the unforeseen to upon up with Chairlift co-be wrecked and songwriter/guitarist/cantor Aaron Pfenning next door for an vet at the Slab Seek. Pfenning, a charismatic prematurely 20 something opened up about how the fillet formed, their coming plans, and of lecture, the Ipod commercial.

It was a feel discomfited lecture rank and he was like ‘Can someone please attraction the Synergistic States?’ and Caroline got up and drew a conceive of of the Concerted States and it looked like a whale, well to me I reflection it looked like a whale. It was literally an careful portrayal of the Synergetic States. Then everyone had to get up and tie their town and say where they’re from. I got up, and I’m from Colorado, but I said I was from the Bay Zone, because it looked like the access of the whale. So I went up and I drew a jaws on the constituent, and I basically turned her composition into a whale (laughs). So I lied and said I was from the Bay Acreage and then we stuck out, you certain? It was well-grounded a order full of douche bags, and Caroline and I virtuous hit it off and traded CDS and then we started making music together.
