gold chains
A'ight. So first I met up w/ Jem & Rick for some *tasty* sushi. This place (of which I'm not telling you cuz it's a secret) is my new favorite - the sushi is sooo amazing. We put down some Sapporo's and some melt in your mouth delicious sushi, and then headed over to the show.On the way over, I gave Jem her housewarming present... It's this awesome metal breakfast in bed tray. But this one's special cuz it has circus clowns and seals on it... which is really just a sign for Jem that her instincts are spot on: She needs to join the circus. I also gave her The Delgados & The Husbands. The Husbands are great, if you're wondering... I hope we get a chance to see them live sometime soon. Aww SNAP!! ( ha ) On the the website they've got it listed right there: March 4th at The Bottom of The Hill with Comets on Fire... wahoo!! Ask & you shall receive!
Alright - so The Gold Chains show was cool. The opener Da Tawny Hoof (no, it's Da Hawney Troof) can go suck it IMO. Shit, that sucked. That's like seeing those big huge canvases of all BLUE and wondering who the fuck decided that was art. The worst was how someone got the brilliant idea that two gay dancers in barely any clothing was actually at aaall interesting to any of us (well besides the other gay boys in the audience of course). Now, I've got *nothing* against that - but that's just not what I paid for. Those boys have a career in gay strip clubs in their future - and sadly they're getting this experience at the ripe age of 17 or something ridiculous. Does your mama know you're up on stage in your tighty whities shakin your junk everywhere? eeww! See my Gravy Train writeup for more, since lucky for me it happened to be that same guy that totally ruined the Gravy Train show for me. Make it stop!
Willpower went on after that though, which was way better. Rick contests it's total boyband material and I say it's totally 80's - and then he says it's like New Kids on the Block - and I actually heard myself arguing that New Kids really aren't a clear depiction of the 80's... (granted they did wear a lot of neon though, didn't they?) But I'm just sayin - Willpower is cooool 80's. Not that painful New Kids shit that we're all trying to forget. (aren't we?) But somethin about Will (from Imperial Teen) is so sexy - and his lyrics are sexy. And his cute little choreographed dances are so fun. Anyway - it was just way better than that crappy Troof shite.
ALRIGHT!!!! So then Gold Chains goes on - woohoo!! They kick out some serious beats. It's rad that he's got Sue Cie along w/ him now at all his shows, too (err... was it ever just him? I don't even know actually). If you're not familiar w/ him - watch this video made by Ruben.
So ya, he kicked it w/ the crowd, jumpin off stage & singing in the audience a bit - Sue Cie did her robot dancing moves with her cute little knee highs - and we all had a good time.
I ran into Graham there, too & check this shit out: Rogue Wave is opening for Super Furry Animals at the Fillmore!! WOOHOO!! SUCH cool news. I already have my tickets. The Super Furries show last year w/ Grandaddy was one of my favorites... So I'm looking forward to seein' them again. And it's now way more exciting to know the Rogue kids are gonna be there & be on fire cuz they get to play for such a great crowd. NICE!
p.s. Here's Graham's butt, sporting the SG tribute "manties" after his leather pants got ripped off by one of the hot Suicide Girls after the show. (read here for more info) How rockstar is that? :) Graham's a cutie - and available ladies!! How can you resist that ass?
Oh & meatyrific Ajax was there lastnight too.. good to see the jaxx in person. I think you can even find him in one of our photos from the night.
Happy Friday ya'll!
