The Icicles - Arrivals and Departures

Arrivals and Departures – CD Release party My friend Greg and the girls from the Icicles launched their new CD – Arrivals and Departures in Grand style tonight. The girls were all decked out in Red Stewardess uniforms custom-made by Jolene (on Keyboards) and Greg (on drums) showed up as the pilot. They always have great costumes but these were really awesome. You can tell a lot of work went into this event as they were not short on ground crew, additional flight attendants serving peanuts and beverages, and back-up pilots. There was even an astronaut boy (in full flight gear) dancing to the tunes and I must say he had all the little girls charmed. There were toy planes hanging from the ceiling, a giant airport scene behind the stage, runway lights, fasten seatbelt and no smoking signs along with all the safety messages one would hear when flying. It was all a great way to launch their new CD. The venue was packed and everyone was singing and dancing to the tunes. One of my favorites, La Ti Da, seemed to be a big hit with the group and it was great to see the kids dancing to the tunes. If you like indie-pop or the previous release from the Icicles, you will love Arrivals and Departures. Congratulations Icicles! Here are a few pictures I shot at tonight’s event.
