Lords of Acid FUCKING ROCKED@!!!!!
14 years ago
Tonight was a kick-ass concert :)
We had two opening groups which were kind of... iffy... Keep in mind that the headliner was Lords of Acid. So the first group up was, I kid you not, half-pregnant looking skanky white-trash ho's that didn't necessarily have all of their teeth still.. It was like a train wreck, or a multi-car accident- no matter how much you want to look away you just.. can't... stop.. looking...
I managed to come away from it and talk some w/ my friend Lem (who scored talking to the venue and tour manager for Lords of Acid to bring in his SLR and get a press pass :) ). SO we weather the storm of the skanky openers and then the second group was a single act that was essential tracks being mixed w/ synth on stage that reminded me of club nights in the mid 90's that brought a tear to my little black heart :)
He had a look that was a cross between a dark elf and a goth. He had a military-esque top with strap after strap straight across the front in layers that were one long all the way across, then a half-way strap, and so on all the way along. He had either a mask or makeup on that covered most of his face in black, and had elf ears on that were all black :)
The next group up was a favorite of mine from Australia which is Angelspit. They almost didn't even get to perform in the US because they could get a visa for Amelia, and then like last-minute all secret-agent like they had a meeting in a park with a woman in a trench coat that handed over her visa to leave the country and go on tour...
They put on a fucking awesome show like they always do, and had a guitarist with them who was going to be the only way that Angelspit was going to be performing at all up until the final secret go-ahead was given!
Lords of Acid come up and I was over talking with Amelia and Carl (a.k.a. Zoog), who are amazing. If you get the chance to, sit down and talk with them about some of the stuff they've done, and will do, etc. They used to import magazines for goth / industrial sub genre from Portland, for one, which is one reason they love coming to Portland so much :)
My friend Phil finally showed up in time for Lords of Acid to be on stage, and so I got back into the front / center for them, and it was an amazing show. Took lots of video and pictures of them playing ^_^

OP
it was ^_^ I'm all over industrial concerts :) I probably go to them about the same frequency as raves... maybe 1 every month or so.. it really depends on when the groups are coming through...
