In what was a big week for hipster centric acts on U Street this week, the Santigold tour, with opening acts Trouble Andrew and Amanda Blank hit the 9:30 Club on Wednesday evening. TV on the Radio and Passion Pit also hit DC last week, so for the pink t-shirt and purple sneaker American Apparel set it was nothing but a good time, and the concert approached manic levels, but was not completely successful in reaching them, leaving a solid show, and a good time had by all, but not by any means a showstopping event.
Here comes trouble. I caught up with Trouble Andrew to talk about the major label re-release of his self-titled album, skateboarding culture and his relationship with his fiancé Santogold.
You know you’ve made it–-at least in the entertainment world–-once somebody is posting some bullshit about you on a gossip blog like TMZ or Media Take Out. I must admit, I’m ascetic but I do sometimes indulge in the gossip, the name calling and the photos that shouldn’t be leaked that are posted daily on these sites.
