Is it just me?? Am I just that fucking trashy or does everyone hate to tip the bathroom attendant lady?

Don’t get me wrong- she was lovely, kind and even suggested that I de-static my top, but you know- I really don’t see the point of having a bathroom attendant at all! And- YES, you people- of course I DID tip her (I’m not that tacky). Although it meant I had to dig into my bag/wallet/pocket/bra/money-stash with my freshly washed hands to pull out dirty money, then wash my hands all over again (cause who isn’t fucking OCD these days?). I must admit, though- my top did look much better sans static.

So, hey- Crash Mansion’s pretty cool with it’s mongo space and all, so I went to catch a few bands on Friday, 5/4. They started with an open bar at the beginning of the night- ahh… just my style.

SO… THE BANDS:
Missed the first band cause the promo didn’t clearly say what time the first band went on.

Aloud was cool and had a good following- lots of people in the crowd. They had great energy and the band had an awesome comradery apparent to the audience. Two really strong singers- music was really good, good sound, but to be completely honest a few of the tones hurt my ears. I think it may have just been the microphone- maybe??

Radio America was good with kind of an eccentric sound, although the energy level dropped a bit when they came on. They were good though and there were some really great solo moments by the band.

Caffeine hit the stage and blew me away with their mad, hot sound. Talk about energy- they were exploding. They’re from the UK and are about to head out to tour Hollywood. Their CD is good too, but you really should try to catch these guys live to capture their ‘Fuck ya’ energy. And, who doesn’t love guys with a British accent?? Catch them at The Bamboozle this Sunday.

Overall: Great roster of bands, cool space. Although, I swear I lost about a decibel of my hearing- maybe tomorrow my ears will stop ringing? 4 bands may have been a bit too much to squeeze into the night- last band was playing close to 1 in the morning and the crowd had pretty much gone home by that point- which was really too bad as they were the best band of the night.

Rock on till next time…
