well it's not really punk rawk but i got to see the black heart processional tonight, mates of state was supposed to play but ended up canceling.
a one man act called, pleasuresaurs (or something like that) opened. it was one of the funniest things i've seen in a while. picture that kid with attention deficit disorder you went to school with now in his early twenties with a suitcase full of costumes and a whole list of nonsensical songs played over some kind of generic bumper music. i kept going back and forth between "why am i watching this clown make such a fool of himself" to "this is really happening" and then laughing hysterically.
some really crappy band played next, their lead singer can only be described as andy dick playing the role of bumbling rock star. he had the most limpwristed tambourine style i've ever seen, i almost died when he almost kicked the mike stand into the guitar player. even better was after hopping down into the crowd to mix and play tambourine he almost crashed trying to hop back up on stage. i'd almost watch them again in the hopes that tragedy would befall them.
i'd never heard any of the black heart procession before and didn't have any expectations going in. after seeing it i've got to admit they put on a pretty good show. i think this was actually the first time i've ever seen anyone play the saw before, they managed to make it work well with the rest of the band too. i didn't have any money but i'm going to try to pick up their new album it's supposed to be excellent.
