Screaming Orphans

November 20, 2002

I went to a RISD event last night. Cheap drinks and free food. But it was otherwise pretty boring, so Brian and I snuck into a back room where an all-girl band from Ireland was playing. We learned they were called The Screaming Orphans. Cute and good and sad in that pop-happy-jangly-young-sad-girl kinda way. Like if REM were teenage girls. Yeah, I know, Michael Stipe probably wishes he were a teenage girl, but that doesn't count. We chatted them up a little after they finished, and are planning to see them play again tomorrow. Does that make us groupies?
