Aug. 4th, 2007 03:57 pmSo much fun dancing with Walter Sickert and the Army of Broken Toys last night--dancing to live music is the best, whatever the genre. Tituba, the song I danced to, is just so evocative. Not sure entirely what it's about but I've got my own images to draw from when I dance to it. Walter liked what I did so I can't be too far off. The zills worked out really well and I felt confident with them. I think they would actually be too loud for the Middle East but they are great for rock shows and would be good for outdoor gigs as well. It was great to go to a gig, dance early and then be able to hang out and drink beer with my rock and roll friends for the rest of the night. All-Asia's beer selection has gotten a lot fancier, I quite liked the Bare Knuckles Stout on tap.
A lot of you guys might like the band My Mercy, they're from Providence. They're something like a more EBM version of Lifestyle, but with a strong Shirley Manson type female singer and crunchier guitars. Talented bunch of people. Last night the singer was too sick to sing, so they projected a film against the back wall and played instrumental versions of their songs. That's actually what has really sold me on them--hearing the songs without a singer made the musicianship and composition really stand out. Anders likes them a lot, so she books them pretty often in Boston. Check 'em out!
Today I need to repair my black and silver galabeya, do a full costume run through of my zar, do yoga, shower, finish the laundry that I rather foolishly started, prepare some veggie kabobs and try to make it to the two parties we are invited to today. One of them is way out in Central Mass so I fear we're only going to make that one. Maybe it will be cooler out there. Anyway I have all this stuff to do, so naturally i am poking around emusic.com and writing on LJ. I really like what I could hear of the new Gogol Bordello album but it requires more downloads than I have at the moment.
Heard that tomorrow's Jane Doe benefit received a plug on the local ABC affiliate--very exciting! But I suppose that means really I must go do my costuming stuff and run-through.
