12.5.08 Sex Ghost/Eat Sugar/LML show @ corktown tavern, detroit
Man, I can't stop watching epic related films. 300. Lord of the Rings. 28 Days Later. Star Wars. Hell, even Captain Ron is epic in it's own ridiculous ways (it takes a real man to wear a eye patch). Maybe this sudden obsession with adrenaline rushes is in part due to the equally epic show
I went and saw at the Corktown Tavern in Detroit this past Friday evening. 12.5.08. Now I haven't been a patron to the Tavern much since Dorkwave, the multiple D.J. spinning free dance party, has been off the radar but i'm sure happy I made it out friday to see the bands that were entertaining.
Ferndale's, Love Meets Lust, headlined the show. Visiting band from Cincinnati,OH, Eat Sugar was sandwich in between the groups and Sex Ghost opened up the show.
A brief summary of the the bands de jour:
Sex Ghost:
Brilliant two-some, busting out on an electrical wave of sexual innuendos and foot stomping fun. Natasha is a reincarnation of Norma Jean herself and had the stage performance mirrored of Karen-O. Completely-unrestrained- crazy-applesauce!
Eat Sugar:
'NO GUITARS JUST KEYS, DRUMS, BASS AND SEXUAL TENSION' These guys made the 4 hour trip from Cincinnati, OHIO. Driving into the bowels of our decaying, cutthroat city to provide us with the fantastic, fresh sounds of an post-punk electric punch.From the eerie synth sounds in 'Clap Your Hands' to the head bobbing, firecracking sounds of 'Black Eye'. I was glad to catch these guys.
Love Meets Lust:
I am ashamed I waited till now to finally see these guys play. Like the child on the neighborhood street that was last to get that Stretch Armstrong toy (remember those?) or Malibu Barbie. I have BEEN FUCKING DEPRIVED. I defenitly heard the 80's influence and was thoughghly enthralled by everything they did on stage. I mesmerized by all the songs, Direction, in particular. John Webb's voice was mesmerizing under the multicolored light show trailing the music, putting a hypnotic spell on the crowd. Even when the light display DID fall apart and there was a slight technical malfunction...John and the band were able to keep composure and entertain the crowd with jokes and small talk.
