The Side Show Bob Show

Saw a Kill Hannah show tonight. To those who don't know, Kill Hannah is an up-and-coming local Chicago band that is starting to make a name for itself mainstream. They sound excellent live and their shows on the whole are really good. As an added bonus, their lead singer kinda looks like Side Show Bob. See?


Side Show Bob, serial killer and Bart Simpson stalker


Mat Devine, lead singer of Kill Hannah

This being the second Kill Hannah show I've seen, I've noticed Mat has a thing for rubbing his stomach when he sings. Not in a "I'm a sexy rock star" sort of way, but more like a "I'm a Starvin' Marvin from Ethiopia, please feed me some cheesy poofs and chicken pot pie" sort of way. Watching Mat subliminally beg for food made me feel guilty about having a burrito before the show, a pre-show tradition inspired by their song, "10 More Minutes With You"...

One day, this tradition will grow as their fan base increases worldwide. Yes, there will come a day when we will no longer have to go into hole-in-the-wall burrito establishments. Instead, little Mexican men will trade in their elotes carts and ice cream buggies for burrito carts to feed the legion of fans waiting in line to see their beloved Kill Hannah band perform, ending once and for all world hunger. And poor Mat will never rub his anorexic tummy again, because if he does, there will be more than enough Kill Hannah burritos to stuff his face with. Long live el burrito
