The Pluto Gang
A lot more fun than it looks. Genny was back in the mix and of course the cobra. Noise shows at Skylab with the crew. Carabar, tho you cant really tell was live, Copywrite and the rest of the homies put on a good show. We discovered That Polish Guy is the official one millionth Nicki Minaj fan, and ended the trip at hound-diggity with the aggin Phil Deez, all in all it was a successful trip back to home base.
Thursday night rage/punk/noise/karaoke night is just what I needed after a bullshit week in corporate america. Not to familiar with what is goin on down at Skylab but I heard Aaron Hibbs is starting up his hula hoop marathon again, and im assuming some noise bands will be in the house and that sounds dope. But I know Rag Rage will be playing at the 15th House where there will also be karaoke. Come see Rag Rage cause they are my favorite local female punk band and plus they are dope girls in general, also if you like karaoke then come. Then go to Skylab for funtime.
Brody, Krusty Karl and I ventured down to the place that you can always go...downtown. We attended a show at Skylab that featured the band pictured above. Us being alcoholically late because I needed a 40oz of King Cobra got us there just as Crazy Dreams Band were setting up. Considering I had no idea what there sound would be like I was hoping for a punk band with a female lead. But that didn't happen, and nor was I disappointed. What we got instead was a psyche rock group with a soulful female singer who I dug fosho. On there myspace page the band describes there sound as "in a blender on acid" and I would agree. I immediately thought of all my friends who did/do drugs and likes to listen to music that "intensifies" they experience. The first thing I thought after they adjusted there sound and vocals were those Pink Floyd songs that would have the female vocalist on them. I mean for a second as corny as it sounds and considering I had been working for 9 hours before the show I dazed off and was "lost in the music" while thinking of my last "tripped out" experience. They even had an 8 minute "ballad" that left the entire crowd either bopping they heads, tapping they feet, or a few cats in the back pulling off those "grateful dead" moves. Usually I dont dig this type of music but they are an exception, and after chatting with lead singer Lexi and Nate who I believe was the drummer I was inspired. What inspired me was how they were able to catch my attention with a sound I wasnt expecting, thats what always gets me about bands at Skylab. I told them about Shredded Lettuce and they dug, and we joked about my "double life" as a graffer/corporate american. They told me about how they were from Baltimore, and were doing a southern/midwestern tour and were heading back east. Lexi also expressed her love for Columbus, OH and invited us to visit them anytime we are in B-More.
