the only thing scarier than a bald headed, ugly guy in a skirt with bad tattoos on some weird drugs with a g/f that happens to work in my building is...the fact that we share the same last name.
so i went to check out SIOUXSIE last night for "AN EVENING WITH SIOUXSIE". the premise of the "EVENING WITH..." is that she would do some Creatures Stuff and some Banshee stuff. For a first time Siouxsie attendee, this was perfect.
and after waiting for an hour and a half past the posted show time, they finally came on. i was in such a bad mood that they had to be perfect to entertain me. and they were. Siouxsie Sioux is a fantastic enterainter, a marvelous front woman with charisma out the wazoo. And for old rockers approaching their 50s (and just imagine the drugs they've consumed since the late 70s - i mean, Sid Vicious was in the original lineup), she and drummer Budgie look young, fit and ready to have party on stage.
so the venue was good, though i hate the fact that there is no where to sit without throwing down huge wads of cash for mandatory botle service - i like to refer to it as "extortion". the crowd was...i really hope i don't even need to go into that. but the highlight was catching up with RYAN - the Navy fag from new jersey we met at Club Relax in the Queens/outerboro of Moscow. "I met you in Moscow" - "How did you meet me in Moscow?" - "umm I said 'hey, what's up? my name is Matt.'"
go back to jersey kid.
f/m at rothko in october. lock your doors. put the kids to sleep early.
