Show report

Brother Dewey reports:

Our Oct. 17 gig with Little Steven’s Underground Garage was a hoot. It started out very strange, and got more so as things went on.

We got there to find that we were to use their amps and drums, and that our set was cut from 40 minutes down to 20, and that we were moved from the second slot up to the first. Not a good sign. We looked at the set list and did some major chopping. Local faves the Mold Monkies came on first after Darla straightened out the line-up thing with the powers that be at the Toad. The MM’s rocked, and it sounded like there were a lot of people there to see them. When we got onstage, we weren’t even allowed to touch a knob on the house amps. OK… Anyway, off we went into Stormbringer, She, Etc, and Compared to What. Looking back, all of those songs were in “D”, the official key of the Danglers…oops, that was not intentional, but it happened under the stress of stripping out half of the set at the last minute. During Compared to What, Little Steven’s Go-Go girls came out and danced on stage. Very cool. Wouldn’t it be great to have them at every gig? We wouldn’t even have to change out of our pajamas, ’cause no one would be looking at us. We got the hook after 4 songs, but played one more just for “the people”. It was a joyous train wreck version of Johnny Ace. It wasn’t in “D”, but it’s a Dash Rip Rock song, so there’s your Dang D.

I’m having problems getting the pics up to Flickr right now. They’ll be up soon
TWANG!!!
