I saw Slowdive (with Cherry Glazerr opening) at Union Transfer on Wednesday. It was an Experience™. I texted my friend Mackenzie (not her real name) throughout with my thoughts and feelings. Here are those thoughts and feelings.
Matthew Eisenberg:
Cherry Glazerr is frickin great, wow
I loved the album but they’re so good live also
Mackenzie Nelson:
They’re fucking amazing
I headbanged so hard last night
Matthew Eisenberg:
Yeah I wasn’t expecting them to go this hard
She can fucking shred that guitar oh my lordt
Mackenzie Nelson:
I was aroused and also scared of her
It was a great feeling
I was also p blazed
Matthew Eisenberg:
Same! Except for the blazed part
Maybe I should’ve
Too late now
Mackenzie Nelson:
Oh definitely
I was in Mass :p
Matthew Eisenberg:
Yeahh Pennsylvania isn’t on its shit yet
Mackenzie Nelson:
Are you hyped for slowdive
Matthew Eisenberg:
So hyped!!!
She keeps saying things that nobody in the crowd can understand
It’s fine though
It’s happening here they come!!!
Mackenzie Nelson:

One Slowdive set later:
Matthew Eisenberg:
That was so beautiful
Mackenzie Nelson:
Do you feel complete?
Matthew Eisenberg:
I feel like I’m floating still
That Syd Barrett cover to close out before the encore was made my soul cry
Mackenzie Nelson:
They are so wonderful
I like genuinely felt warm after that show
Matthew Eisenberg:
Oh same for sure
It was like cuddling but with music
Mackenzie Nelson:
YES
Matthew Eisenberg:
Blissful
Mackenzie Nelson:

Like legitimately
Matthew Eisenberg:
I don’t blame you at all
Mackenzie Nelson:
Drugs helped a little
But overall just pure bliss
I’m so happy they did this tour
Matthew Eisenberg:

Mackenzie Nelson:

Matthew Eisenberg:
