"A moment of silence, a lifetime of laughter" is a lyric from the Mighty Mighty Bosstones' Noise Brigade. The Bosstones were dropped from the original bill of the first concert I ever attended. Here, I reminisce on various moments of silence and noise in a lifetime of laughter and a few scattered tears. "On the brighter side and on a happier note; the noise, well it's just love that gets caught in my throat."
My friend's band played at this East Village tiki bar a few times in 2007. Arising from the ashes of his high school band, Stop Gavrillo (named after the man who assasinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, setting off World War I), Nice Pipes played such inciendary political punk jams as "Fuck Republicans."
