July 9 - Quencher's, Chicago

What a delight to play first.
Get the show out of the way, and spend the rest of the evening with remnants of gunk smears on the face and glops of stage white in the hair.

While getting dressed in the men's room, we were heckled by some guys while they urinated.
It seemed we had hit a new low.
"Hey, flush!" Mike commanded to one of the departing urinal hecklers.
To his credit, the heckler complied.

It felt good to play again.
We didn't rehearse.
Hadn't played since the PRF BBQ about a month ago.
Mike resurrected his upright bass, and strapped it on like an electric.

An old friend of the band made dolphin coos from the audience.
Then she lifted her shirt to expose her braziered boobs.
That was my first time meeting her.

Alan's "Moline" monologues have been getting funnier and funnier.
I almost choked on the popcorn I was method-acting eating.

IfIHadAHiFi curated this show, and acted as the bougher between us and the headliners. They filled the room with gorgeous down-stroked noise shenanigans. I love seeing that Firebird get tossed around. It's my pornography. Mr. Alarm played a fender bass, in that he played his bass with a car fender.

The reunited Fuckface had a polydemonic setup: Four drum kits sans snares and cymbals in front of the stage, two guitars, a bass stack taller than the bass player, and a guy on his knees banging away at barbells and things that go ding in the night. The frontman, a greying acid casualty with a T-shirt tucked into a braided leather belt mumbling through a shitty PA, could not compete with the ferocious drum moat. All eyes were on the four drummers, pounding and pounding the toms. It was hypnotizing, though their cover of "Wave of Mutilation (UK Surf)" broke the spell. If they added some horns and some cheerleaders they could become Fucka Face-a.

We all went home separately and slept in separate properties because we live here.

  4. Drums are perhaps the most important aspect to any beat or song. If you are limiting yourself to only the basic drums, you are at a severe disadvantage. There are many free drum kits available online, but the majority of them are of poor quality and selection. You must be careful and do your research when looking for drum kits for free.PW0-104
