profundisHad a good time out with Gene ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lespaceplie last night - got to enjoy my favorite vegetarian Indian / Southern soul-food place (and the good-natured ribbing of the proprietor) and a never-dull if not quite entirely fabulous show in Little Five Points (locus of all things alternagothindustreamo in ATL).
The two openers for Peaches were a disparate bunch. The first band, Whitey, was 5 white late-20 something guys, one of which at least must have been from the UK judging by his accent. They were not bad at all - kind of an emo lovechild of Devo and Gary Numan with some Berlin thrown in for good measure.
The second act - Quintron and Miss Pussycat was amazing in its sheer dorkosity. Guy in tacky white leiure suit (after Labor Day, no less!) behind a facade made to look like he was sitting in a Jeep (complete with working headlights) instead of behind his bizarre "instrument" and his backup "screecher" (I can't call her a singer). If Zappa wrote songs to be performed by Edgar Winter and sung by Danger Woman, that would have been about right for this act. Actually I think I'd have preferred Danger Woman. Gene and I used this time to get drinks, we needed them after a few minutes of skull-powderizing dissonance from the "Drum Buddy." Sonic Attack, anyone?
There were various tunes played between sets - rock, rap, pop, goth, etc...but the best was when Petula Clark's Downtown came on. Nothing brings the inner happy urban girl out of a grumpy looking goth guy like Pet Clark. I think everyone sang and waved their arms overhead to that one. LOL I had a moment of sheer joy remembering the last time I'd heard that song played in a darkened theatre full of weirdos (my people) - about 20 years ago (owch) at Fantasy Fair (remember that, kiddies?) as a transition between films in the Wolrd Congress Center. Ahhh.
Then it was time for Peaches
Gene reviewed her act quite well in his own post . I got a lot of pics but most of them sucked, I put up a few - clickie the piccie above for more. :)
Thanks, Gene!
