Let's try this...
Here are my last two concert reviews, let me know what you think. Really. Looks like it's going to have to be in a couple of parts, sorry. Here ya go, apologize for lack of proper punctuation and all that hope you can follow. On a sidenote, I previewed this meassage and what the **** is up with all the ******* ******, what are we ******* 11? **** me!!!! I feel dirty Yeah, me too But it’s a sexy kind of dirty isn’t it? It’s a post coital drip kinda sexy dirty You ******* killme Cupcake My name is Roxy Reno, Cupcake is my roomie, above is conversation from our most recent rock show experience. The Black Diamond Heavies Should be the *******! Black Diamond Heavies because they were just that good. Ned Kelly’s in Green Bay, a Time Bomb Tom production. Before I start the review of the show proper please let me say this. I live in the Valley, and understand on a day to day basis it can be a backass, backwards hole. Green Bay is in no way any better. Oshkosh speaks for itself. but There are flashes of brilliance and Instances of flat out genius. The two large, I don’t want to necessarily say ugly, let’s go with not flattering, Polish brothers who brought me and Cupcake to the aforementioned show are an example of the former. Time Bob Tom is an example of the latter. Ok, on to the show. Cupcake, I and two big and Polish arrived about 9:45. Ned Kelly’s downtown (Washington St) Green Bay. Parking was easy, nice big lot across the street. Bar was spacious, no stage but good room. Two opening acts were cute young local boys. Caught two songs from the first band, whole set of the second. Sorry guys, don’t remember names. Didn’t hate either of them, I will say this about both, they had balls. It wasn’t ****. Bass player for the second band with no socks was ooolala. I saw the drummer for the first band walking downtown (Appleton) Well worth supporting. In parting I will say this: It was cool that the members of the opening acts hung out, it was stupid that the 15 or so friends who came out to support them left. Just plain stupid. Because, let there be no mistake, Black Diamond Heavies were the ****! I am going to refer to the band by their initials from this point forward because, frankly, it’s a lot of ******* typing that I’m not really up for at this minute. BDH are two fellas, an organ player and drummer. John Wesly Meyers on the organ, Van Campbell on Drums. I guess, if you have to, think if the Black Keys grew up in the dirty south. Kind of a ****ed up, crash helmet, punk, blues. Gravelly voiced vocals, really Bluesy. I really believe that my friends that are into the white boy blues would really dig this ****. And I know, that my friends who have decent taste in music would pee in their pants over it. I knew coming in I was going to like this band, I like keys and I had heard the band’s debut disc “Every **** Time” – Alive Records, I got my copy from the Exclusive Company in Appleton. I knew I was going to like the show but was unexpectedly blown away. I don’t pretend to know **** about **** in regards to music, I have never played an instrument in my life. I only know what grabs me, and I’m here to testify ladies and gentlemen, The Black Diamond Heavies shook my soul, they rattled my cage, they made me feel like the poor white trash that I am. You know what though, I do know a bunch of people who do know a little something about music, and can play several instruments and they were freaking out over the **** the guy on the keys was doing. The consensus I got is that he was going in two directions at once, whatever that means. It’s like this right, Van Campbell lays down the beat and it’s like 4 shots straight expresso, hits you right in the gut, gets you moving. John Wesley Meyer’s Fender Rhodes smoothes up to the beat like whiskey, steps on it a little, then while the caffine and whiskey are battling it out, Meyer’s voice drops on top of it all like a hit of dirty reefer. The result is up, down, and all around, and nothing short of voodoo magic. In the “In every life a little rain must fall” category: So, all is right with the world right? The Spotted Cow is flowing, Cupcake is smiling, and the band is so ******* hot I’m freaking out. I’m at the bar in want of something cold and I hear from the door “5 Bucks!?, Whaddya mean? I’ve never even heard of these guys” I look over at the door and sure enough, two drunken douchebags, looks like they have come from a wedding, ******** about the cover. I poked Cupcake and said “check out these two ****nuts.” She didn’t have to, because, as I knew the minute they stepped in the door, and because Cupcake and I are freak magnets, we were treated to a double dose of doucheyness, they were in our face two minutes in the door. It lasted about a half hour, which is 45 minutes too long. It was starting to make big and Polish uncomfortable and that was |
