Telegram Sam - Bauhaus

Peter Murphy flyer
Last night was sooooooooo much fun! :-)

I think the most amusing part was hearing everyone boast about how many times they had saw Peter Murphy before. The aggro people who were acting like they were at a Slayer concert by head banging and fist pumping and trying to start a slam pit were funny too. Or maybe the most amusing part was the chicks shooting the stink eye to anyone and everyone who was better dressed, better looking or in better shape than them, like the catty insecure cunts that they are... LOL I definitely know the most annoying part of the night was hearing people talking about how "I've finally seen Bauhaus!", which is just the sort of nostaligia for nostalgia sakes bullshit that makes me wretch. You idiots didn't see Bauhaus - you saw Peter Murphy doing Bauhaus songs - HUGE difference! The merch booth full of overpriced Bauhaus crap like buttons and stickers and tee shirts was a bit much as well, but regardless, it was a fantastic show full of all the hits you'd expect like Stigmata Martyr, She's Into Parties, In The Flat Field, etc., but it was the more obscure stuff like Kingdom's Coming, Silent Hedges or The Passion Of Lovers that made it great. Yeah, the melodica was busted out for Kick In The Eye, and Bela Lugosi's Dead was only like, 5 minutes long, but mixing the expected with the unexpected is what kept things interesting and never dull. Mr. Murphy looked and sounded great, and the Evil air about him is still as powerful as ever.He played, he howled, he spoke in that spooky baritone voice of his, and the crowd of Idolators and Lovers ate it all up, every single Gothic note of music played, and the 1-2 knock out punch of Telegram Sam and Ziggy Stardust was the perfect ending for the show. I know lots of Dark and Spooky people didn't want to go to the gig because it was supposedly blasphemous for Mr. Murphy to be doing Bauhaus songs with a band of scrubs, but he does it all the time on his solo Tours, so I don't know what the big deal was about him doing it last night. If you didn't make it to the gig, you missed out on a commandeering performance from the Godfather of Goth, and if you did, then you know about what a great time it was, so what am I telling you all this for? LOL Show Review coming soon. Trust me - it'll be worth it! ;-)

Everything's updated. Don't ask me what any of it is, because I'm tired and can't recall any of it right now. Tonight is Anti-League bowling @ the Gold Coast, tomorrow it's Union 13. IDFI, The Quitters, Last Rites and a few other Locals @ Beauty Bar (UGH!), and with all that First Friday bullshit going on, as well as that Downtown Showcase for Shitty Hipster music fest going on tomorrow night as well, I think I'm just gonna stay completely away from that area if at all possible. My girlfriend just woke up and is eating my cereal out of the box. I think I'm done here... ;-)
