Gayngs - The Gaudy Side of Town

Gayngs (featuring members of Bon Iver, Megafaun, the Rosebuds, Solid Gold, P.O.S, and many more) will play a pair of CD-release shows for their debut album, Relayted, at First Avenue in Minneapolis on May 14.

“We want to decorate First Ave with street lamps, whatever the normal prom decorations are, and white drapes on the stage,” Vernon says. “We want to encourage people to wear prom-type formalwear, and I think the opening act would be something [Gayngs producer Ryan] Olson’s going to be doing, either a side project or DJing to set the mood in a prom sort of way. The last song on the CD is ‘The Last Prom on Earth,’ and it’s one of the big jams, so that’s where the idea came from of doing the release show as a prom.”

I’ve already booked my tickets and I have a pretty gal who said yes, but I’m still in search of formalwear that coordinates with periwinkle. If you’re in the Midwest, find yourself a date and come join us.

Tentative plans:

5:00 - Photos and awkward hugs

6:00 - Dinner at The Olive Garden

7:30 - I proudly announce “I got this” as the server sets down the check.

8:00 - We drink vodka and Mountain Dew in the parking lot.

8:10 - Altoids everyone!

8:30 - Waiting in line for pictures. Debating the least lame way to pose.

9:00 - People make jokes about spiking the punch. No ones actually does.

10:00 - Who’s going to break the ice on the dance floor?

1:30 - I’ll skip post-prom if you will?!

2:00 - Bowling alley
