Saw the Dwarves, Helmet and GWAR a couple of nights ago. What a blast. The Dwarves continue to be my fave punk band of all time, and even though they've slowed down 1000% from the "fuck and fight onstage" phase, they were still a blast. Blag threw me the mic so I sang a few bars of Unrepentant before tossing it back to him; crowd was unsure what to expect from them but the Dwarves brought great energy and the crowd responded with a great pit and tons of crowd surfing. Helmet was solid. And if you've ever seen GWAR, you know what you're going to get. This round they had some sort of Trump / Pope amalgam come out for praise and worship of DJR before getting an axe in his head and then bending over to shoot blood and goo out of his ass all over the crowd. Like I said, you know what you're gonna get with GWAR; the second pic is a POV from the barricade.

Gary Numan at Empire Garage last night. He always puts on a good show.

I do wonder how many 60-something fans of his 70/80s music finally come to a show and wonder how they ended up at a nine inch nails concert.
 

laughed at a bumper sticker yesterday that said  "gary numan is here in my car"

Not really a "concert" per se, but we were gifted some tix to this comedy event at Far Out Lounge tonight.

Holy shit I have never heard less funny sets in my life.  The rap guy performing when we rolled in was by far the best thing we saw, and he wasn't trying to be funny whatsoever, he was just doing his thing.  The following three "comedians" were painfully awful, to the point where the crowd (which was large) was either silent or booing.  So, that's a wasted night.

Friday I went and saw Wine Lips at The Get Down in Portland.  It was actually a really great lineup as all 3 bands were killer.

Opening was 40 Feet Tall.  They are a local punk band that puts on great live shows.  Tons of energy.

The middle band, Population II, was unknown to me and made a huge impression.  Instant fan.  They are a 3 piece french speaking psych rock band from Montreal.  They blew me away.

Wine Lips, as always, was phenomenal and had everyone bouncing.  Great show.

Last Reckless Kelly show last night before semi-retirement. Kind of a bummer that this was their 4th straight night at Gruene and after selling out Friday and Saturday it was only about 1/3 full. I probably saw them 185 times over the last 25 years and I’m sure I’ll see them again at some point but it’s a little sad to lose them as a full time group.

Ha. Just saw a clip of that William Montgomery's set on Derka's Joe Rogansphere thread. That looked terrible.

Trying to decide whether I want to go down to Longhorn Ballroom tomorrow night to see Jeff Tweedy's solo show. I've seen him so many times but Wilco is a top five all-time band for me. I've dragged my wife to see him, Tweedy (the band) and Wilco enough times that she's out on this show. Might go by myself. I dunno. I'm a little worried because he's touring behind a triple album that I haven't listened to too much of to this point.
