so, i'm feeling scatterbrained right now, the update today will be all over the place in nicely partioned sections, as i am sometimes want to do. it is, as follows:
the CRAMPS
saturday evening, i met up with The Pants, just in time to head down to avalon near fenway park and catch the legendary CRAMPS! now, to be clear and honest, i have only listened to the cramps once in my life, last week, after i knew i was gonna see the show, i played some mp3's i had on my computer by them. i was pretty much going to this show (and being completely excited about it) based on their reputation.
the last two times i saw bands based on their reputations alone, never having heard their music (THE BUSINESS in june and SKINNY PUPPY in july) i was totally into each show, and left the venue knowing damned well that i had a new band to look into.
saturday night was no different.
the cramps were everything that i could've expected from them, and just a little bit more. lux and ivy looked like stretched out and emaciated, aging punk icons (in a good way). they put on a great show, they were funny and weird and alternated between trippy weird shit, 50's style rock, and full on punk.
The Pants and i did some dancing, it was awkward because this lame-o couple that was holding each other kept getting all up in our shit and taking up our dancing room. the dude in front of The Pants smelled like thai food, the dude standing next to me smelled like summer sausgae. ick.
finally, at the beginning of the encore, a pit opened up, near the front of the stage, just as i was about to grab The Pants by the sleeve and work my way through the crowd, he pushed right between the people ahead of him on his way their already, so, i pushed behind him, and jettisoned ourselves into the mighty, crazy, pent-up-we-should-be-dancing-but-everyone-is-being-lame-so-now-we-have-a-fucking-pit-going-on-during-the-encore pit. it was awesome. it was way awesome. it was a boy-girl pit. one of the best kinds. it was all about dancing and fun and enthusiam, completely meat-head free.
i live for such experiences.
