Wandered over the Dresden Dolls show last night. Pretty entertaining.

I missed the opening band, aside from there somewhat anemic cover of “God Save The Queen”. I’m not exactly a punk rocker, and even less of a Sex Pistols fan, but somehow playing that to a crowd of mostly underaged spooky kids seemed a bit trite.

Dresden Dolls were interesting, though they seemed to be having a bit of an off night I’d guess. Lots of trainwrecks, forgotten lyrics and the like. It happens sometimes[1]. Oddly, this was the second show in a month I’ve seen at Lincoln Theater that involved lots of onstage “skits” and whatnot. The other one was Buckethead.

Ran into zombiepops, heatherivy, arriannaid, maegwynn, and badger was about somewhere.

[1] Best variation of this was Tomahawk/Mike Patton. After finishing a song, he announced to the crowd (paraphrase) “That fucking sucked. Our guitar player screwed it up. We’re doing it again”. And then played it again. Theres something very entertaining about hugely talented assholes.
