Big D
18 years ago
So I went to see Big D and the Kids Table last night. Now, the show was amazing, and I love the hell out of them, but it gave me an interesting new theory on the name Big D. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BIGGER BULGE. I'm not one to check out a guy's crotch, but since he was jumping around and wearing some kind of loose fabric pants it was hard not to notice that the guy is fucking HUNG. Seriously. I wonder if that thing gets much bigger. Yamanto wasn't there, but I think he described it best as he commented that he wanted to see the flopping frankfurter. Hahahahaha.
But anyways, they are fucking awesome, and they played at least half of the songs off of Strictly Rude. Whole Wheat Bread was interesting as well, especially since they replaced their jailed bassist with a white guy and their chants had the 98% white crowd shouting NIGGA several times. Also, their live rapping is much better than the shit at the end of Minority Rules.
Before WWB were the AKA's, who I was repeatedly told were emo and lame but weren't emo at all and were actually a lot of fun. Lots of crowd interaction going on there. Vinnie from LTJ is their manager, and he along with JR (sax) and Derron (ex-bari sax) were there to represent. Justin (the bassist) was nice enough to spark a conversation after the show.
The local opener was a band called Chupaskabra, who I've now seen three times. They just get better and better. Unfortunately, despite their shirts being only $10, the one I liked was only available as a girl's shirt. I was like WTF, 50s style art does not equal girly. They said I could still buy it and show off my muscles, but I don't really have any so fuck that. X3 Oh, a kid I knew back in middle school happens to be friends with them, and got on stage to add a tuba to the mix for one song. I found him later and talked for a bit, totally cool.
And now this is my longest journal ever! How appropriate seeing as how long Big D is! X3
