For all you complainers who wouldn't see STT play Black Cat's Anniversary ... YOU BLEWWWWW IT. Not only was the current touring line-up of STT (Nathan, Adam, Stuart, and Craig) completely wonderful but your faves from the past were invited to play. Yep, the final 3 OLD songs with Chris Matthews & Mike Russell were Red House, Day Ditty & another I'd have to look up from "Tenspot". Craig was in a playful joking mood but still put out that intensely Angelic voice, Nathan was smiling away & rocking with Stuart & Adam. It was truly amazing
But unfortunately I finally got the opportunity to see this certain group that Hunter had told me about a few years back that had someone I'd always see hanging @ GWU parties in the 90's. Hunter went to school with her & only a few years ago I found out she was fronting this group, Tuscadero. Yes they had a large loyal following who knew their songs religiously. Yes they belong on Teen Beat. And Yes I still cannot figure how on earth they ever got on Dischord.
They were the most painful experience I've had in a long time. Cute-Pop with cartoonish Betty Boop vocals. But a lot of the crowd were eating their sugary-sweet (like those Pixie stix you inhaled as a kid) songs big-time. My Meowgirl, about 10 other old 80's friends & I shared in the same torture our ears & eyes were dealing with. Wow, my stomach was actually feeling like Mr. Tapeworm was dancing in my innards. And they played after New Wet Kojak. An artier avante grade GVSB that I'd never seen before either but dug their style. I mean for all the cryptic nonsense lyrics that NWK are putting out, Tuscadero had these cutesy ones like "My little turtle dove". Ugh, I'm still puking a bit in my mouth just thinking about them.
Plucky, Mrs. Plucky, Meowgirl & I had a great time @ Night #1 of the Anniversary gigs. Got there in time to see a stellar performance (never let me down!) of Ted Leo/R/X & then GVSB. Love the sexy groove of GVSB until they brought up special guest David Yow (Jesus Lizard). We watched a killer band's set be quickly destroyed by 1 man. Oh and his gigantic-mushroom-headed penis. Always heard exhibitionist stories about this cat & w/o any warning, before any songs, Yow unzips his pants & Scott Mcloud tells him "Let's keep this legal tonight, David" so the surprise MEMBER (the one in Yow's pants) returns to whence it came. Yet, the human freak show joined the Boys for one of Jesus Lizard's songs & ruined "Kill the SeXplayer". Yipes.
Grey Matter had a fun yet out of tune/off key set. Definitely much tighter the last Anniversary 5 years ago.
All in all, the best 2 nights I've spent in WDC with some great sounds & lovely old friends. You shoulda been there.
