So yes, I won another concert from my favorite radio station, 98.7! They are the best! Won an invite to the Penthouse Party for New Politics to see them perform 4 songs just for us. Free pizza, free liquor (although the bar was limited they did have Vodka!) and the rooftop was coooooollllllddddd, in downtown Hollywood where their Penthouse is located in the lovely historic Hollywood Towers.
Took Eithne as this time she she was free and wasn’t going to pass up another opportunity to have fun! Lucky me, my sexiest outfit is pants! Eithne got really chilly in her summer dress, but we found the warmest place on the roof and even had a great view from it!
Size of Massachusetts
Darren from 98.7 introduced the band and ask them how they got to where they were. Apparently they’re from Denmark (which is just about twice the size of Massachusetts…the red dot on this US map!) Although the band didn’t speak with any recognizable accent!
There was a contest and they submitted a video, but they needed another song so they whipped out another. There were 962 bands entered in the contest. And they were 1 of 4 who won. They’d been on tour for 18 months ever since it happened.
This is a clip from the party….

New Politics, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
They were absolutely a blast to watch perform. Just frickin ADORABLE! The energy was amazing. Eithne went up to the singer after and asked him if he’d studied interpretive dance.. I was so proud she was so bold!
She said to me, “Wow, they won out of 962 bands!”
I said to her, “Screw that! I’m amazed there are 962 new bands in Denmark!”
