island of theft

a while ago (last year sometime) i was at a show. it wasnt much of a show. the venue was tiny, i didnt know either of the bands and the crowd was weak at best. of course, none of these things should really affect the quality of the music, and they didnt.
the first band to take the stage was visually a bit embarrassing. they had a nice, jovial stage presence, but for the style of music they played (super duper generic powerpop punk) the stage presence was, well, tacky. the lead singer had this weird shoveling motion he would do with both hands and his mic, as if he was trying to dig a hole for his music.
anyways, aside from being flashy and having some catchy synth riffs, they were mostly forgettable. they had a fun merch guy so i bought their shirt, but in retrospect my money could have been better spent on more noble musicians.
anywho, that band is not the point of this post.
nope, the second 'headlining' band is where the topics at. Isle Of Thieves.
even their name is striking. it sounds unexpected. i didnt really like it when i first heard it, and i'm not sure if i would name my band that, but it does have that certain ring to it.
now then, as i stated earlier, the crowd sucked. i'm not sure why they were there, they all acted to pretentious to actually care about music of this sort. but still, they were there and they were stationary. so, to spice things up, i jumped around here and there to the second band. nothing shocking. little head bob there, body slam there.
after the show, the guitarist approached me and gave me a free cd as thanks for crowd participation.
i didnt enjoy the band enough to have actually forked over the 10 dollars for the cd, but hey, if i got it for free, might as well listen to it.


if you decided to skip all that writing, let me summarize it for you: i got a free cd that had an epic line in it:
"you'll never find love in a one night stand/or understand God in terms of man"

now then, i'm fairly sure this band is not a 'christian' band per se (but who can even say what that means these days)

moving along.

i just really like that stanza. i know a lot of people (myself included) have struggled/do struggle with God. in general. since we've grown up with it, we sort of accept the idea. but, just think about it.
God.

mind blowing.

anyways, being that He is God, we arent going to comprehend Him. on some small, human scale we might catch some etheral glimpse, but as for who He is. it's incomprehensible. and Isle of Thieves caught that very nicely by presenting two impossibilities.
