I didn't know The Sounds were opening, even better. I saw them a few years back when they first came to the US, and they put on a good show. They played this little venue that only holds about 100 people, so you can always get close enough to pull em off stage if you wanted to.

No she's not. Not in person anyway. They hung out after the show and I don't know if maybe she parties a lot but she looks hit in real life. Either she's pushing 40 or she's done way too much coke, because her face was all marked up.
