Weird and wonderful

Had the pleasure of attending Beach House's free concert at the Zodiac (former restaurant next to Club Charles) to benefit the endangered Senator Theater.  Although the band truly rocked, my memory of openers The Creepers is what will stick.  They played to the date (Friday the 13th on the eve of Valentine's Day) by creating an effectively freaky, bleeding-heart ambience that appealed to romantics and creeps alike.
Beach House themselves were awesomely haunting and atmospheric, and I'm harboring a major crush on mustachioed dreamboat Alex Scally, as well as a mini-girlcrush on 26-year-old organist and vocalist (and fellow Charles Villager!) Victoria Legrand.  For those Baltimoreans who missed out, the beautiful duo will be at Sonar on March 11.
