*sigh* Firewater and Girls Against Boys! God, my knees are trembling in anticipation. I'm going with my brother, so I hope I don't make a fool out of myself in front of him, but it's gonna be soooo goooood!! |
Got some serious frottage from the human (guy? girl? I was afraid to look!) behind me, but other than that, it was one hell of a kick-ass show. Yep. |
Anyhoo, some of the people there had been going to BOC shows since before I was born and it was my first BOC show but the crowds were way meaner than at Sisters of Mercy or industrial bands or anything like that. P.S. I realize I'm probably the only person in the world who likes BOC, but so be it. I like 'em. |

Been eavesdropping for days. |
A year ago I would have turned around and hit the person, just on principle. But this time I just thought, eh, it's part of the experience. And what an experience it was! *ssiiiggghhh* The drums were my heartbeat...the basslines sucked the breath out of my lungs...I had to hold on to the ledge against the wall to keep from being knocked over by the ferocity of the music. And damn, but Tod Ashley's sexy! I always knew the GvsB boys were (how many times have I read "Scott McCloud could talk anybody, male or female, out of their pants without using any visual aids"), but I was pleasantly educated on Thursday about Tod. Who knew arrogance could be so charming? |
Next week I may be returning to the old Pontiac to see June of 44, but I have to see if my brother's up to it. The night after the Jo44 show, Botanica is playing. Botanica is Paul Wallfisch's band. Paul plays piano/organ in Firewater. Paul also tries (hopelessly in vain) to sound threatening and cocky when he sings. Someone should tell him there can only be one Tod A. and put his shame to rest. |
