APRIL 14 - Portland (retrospective # 1.2.1)
ZEROMANCER: how fucking kewl was that? Maria Ferrero kept harping on the hone about how Hot & Sexy Alex is to look at and ... I'm thinking like... yeah, sure.. she's just a good talker and she's backing the band... and that's sweet and all.... but give it a rest!
NO WAY! Alex is yummy! and get away from the celophane video screen! the videos are nice... but at times... it seems like music videos are just commercial mind-fucks and i kinda tune them out. I have a couple of ZMR videos, though. I'm telling you... the videos are NOTHING compared to the LIVE *ZEROMANCER* the word "surreal" jumps to mind... overused, but man, that's just how it feels. Kim is amazing... I had no idea from the videos just how amazing this guy would be LIVE!
And Chris is stunning ... just watch him closely now and then... there's such massive energy flowing through this guy into the music!
The stage at the Roseland really presents the Artists well, I believe... i perpetually get this larger than life impression and the machismo .. if that's the right word *at all*... applies both to men and women through the music up on stage... it's invigorating and it's sexy, and it's a bucket of sweat pouring across dazzling eyes that reveal so much how each musician is simply thrilled to be up on stage before the gathered crowd doing exactly what the4y want to be doing at that moment!
There's nothing sexy about my day-job, and i would never expect anyone to remotely find me sexy while i'm doing it... i don't want to be there, and i'm not about to pretend that i enjoy it. The contrast for these musicians who have got to be tired and a little frustrated by the duration and demands of touring and performing gigs back to back for weeks and weeks, .. it's got to be grueling.. and yet, up on the stage last night, like i said, there's no place else in the world that these fabulous musicians would have rather been.
Thanks to everyone involved for being so friendly and accessible and kewl about everything despite all the routine b.s. that goes on every fucking day at so many countless music venues across the USA.
BILE: I can't stress enough, nor even adequately how kewl it was to see BILE ... this is the first time for me to see some of the musicians on this tour to perform live... Pigface was awesome, and BILE was just not at all what I had merely imagined.
I sometimes have pre-conceived notions, i must admit.
i never cease to be amazed at just how wrong my preconceptions can be sometimes. Just ask Sonya Brown, i can be a really difficult fuckhead, sometimes.
BILE was just phenomenal! what an incredible performance! I a hesitant to begin with generic descriptors as they seem so inadequate at illustrating the transendent beauty and overwhelming sense of potency that BILE delivers in unleashing the muse within the music!
I'm not going to taint your senses with words that fail to describe the presentation. You simply must see BILE live on stage at the earliest possible convenience.
If you haven't made definite plans to get into the nearest UNITED TOUR gig, then get off your ass and do it NOW!
You will be so STUNNED by the performances that you might forget yourself for a moment and find yourself grooving and dancing and having a wonderful time. Stick around for PIGFACE... it's so much larger than life. I can't begin to tell you how kewl it feels to see this happening on this scale in the all too damned conservative USA.
kudos to PIGFACE. KUDOS to Underground Inc.
