Dan Bejar of Destroyer likes to drink (booze).

Swigging bottles of Stella Artois, swaggering in such a serious way, approaching the microphone stand as if it were the steering wheel of his ill-fated car, Dan Bejar had these things to say from the stage of the Independent last night:

“Did you guys eat dinner? Fuck Dinner.”

~~

“This is about a song…in Los Angeles…that I wrote…about two days ago…when I was there.”

~~

“This is the part of the show where we play another song…”

I realize the quotes don’t convey the besotted slur with which they were uttered. But this isn’t to say the show was a mess. Bejar completely maintained musical fidelity despite his loopy banter and threats from his sober bandmates — all the more reason to love Destroyer. Which everyone should.

Fittingly, I found this picture of Dan Bejar (‘s legs) on someone’s flickr:
