WENT OUT

Tuesday night Wyatt and I went to see the movie entitled "Danielson: a Family Movie or Make a Joyful Noise HERE". While the movie was as long as its title, it was an entertaining and inspiring story about Daniel Smith who, along with his siblings, formed the band Danielson Famile.

They wear nurses' uniforms to symbolize the healing power of their music. They are inspired by their love of Jesus but would not call themselves a Christian rock band.

The movie follows Daniel through all of the incarnations of his music. One of which is Brother Danielson shown here in his Nine Fruit Tree costume:

There is a lot of live footage of Danielson and of the sweet-faced Sufjan Stevens who was originally a fill in member of the Danielson Famile who rose to his own fame as a solo artist.

Among the many people who were interviewed outside of Danielson shows there was this guy:

Our good friend Aaron Lazar, frontman of Brooklyn's premier sex metal band The Giraffes, who, when asked about Danielson, said something to the effect of "I'm in a metal band and that guy scares me". It must have been from around the time that Aaron was working at the Knitting Factory, a venue often played by Danielson.

After the movie we went for a drink at Royal Oak where none other than Jimmy "The Gherkin" Sparber, frontman of Brooklyn's premier Transylvanian pop rock band, Breakup Breakdown, was bartending:
