An (International) Noise Consipracy

Oh my god...I’ve found a version of heaven on earth and it was at the (International) Noise Conspiracy concert. Now here is a band that takes nothing for granted. They put it all out on the line last night without compromising sound or structure. The band was so energetic that they generated their own electrical current in the air which caused my hair to poof up like a Chinese poodle or Dee Snider if you will. They went all out song after song after song never faltering in their stage performance. With groovy rythms and lyrics concerning capatalism and its failings The (International) Noise Conspiracy not only set the dance floor a fire but your mind as well. I say kudos to them for being ale to spread the word of pinkos everywhere without making you feel like an ass. And as an added plus they were able to make my feet move in a way that resembled dancing...which is hard to do in a white boy from the prairies

Now the openeing band These Arms Are Snakes were amazing as well. It was refrshing to see a newer band have the amount of energy, presence and talent that these guys from Seatle displayed. All memebers of the band contributed equally to this awesome live show with the highlight being the lead singers anticts and need to climb everything in site. A perfect opening band for The (International) Noise Conspiracy. There was on flaw to this stellar show however....The Venue and its Cold-blooded management.

To this day I still don’t understand the idea of having a sunken dance floor. You'd think that owners of bars would realize that drunkenness plus stairs equals certain disaster but that’s not the case. Well if you haven’t surmised the venue problem yet then let me tell you. This bar (The Red Room@The Drink) has such a floor and it was a constant hassle to maintain your footing with the surge of the crowd and uneven floor. I must have fallen five times causing my pride and behind to begin to hurt. A big wound for such a small fellow. Not only did the floor suck at the Red Room but the management have the mental capacity of a retarded chimpmunk on acid. The show began at 8 and ended at 11 with the management kicking everyone out so they could replace us with a crowd of yuppies. I shit you not. We were ushered out of the bar while a group of yups waited in line to get in. Never in my wildest dreams would i have thought that a bar owner would kick out a crowd of very satified music lovers (most of who were well on there way to getting drunk) out of his bar to be replaced by the souless yuppies. It boggles the mind.
But all things aside it was a fun and enjoyable time and for all those who have not seen either of these bands I would definitely recommend doing so…It may change you’re life.
