Blast from the Past

OK... my buddy calls me last minute and says that he has tickets to Gene Loves Jezebel - a flamboyant alternative, new-wave band from the '80's. In case you didn't know, I was a skateboarder back in high school and listened to all kinds of crazy music - from early alternative to punk to ska to hardcore.

So, anyway, I didn't have anything to do after the traditional church fish fry - so I said, "sure, I'll meet you there". The show was at Clube Diesel - the opitome of cheeze when it comes to venues - and the crowd was full of middle-aged ex-alternative rockers. It was a fairly unsightly crowd of people that used to congregate at the Upstage Lounge or Metropol back in the day.

Anyway, the show was OK. It was enjoyable enough and it brought back a lot of memories. They certainly played all thier "hits". Afterwards, we walked down to Dee's to play some pool and pound a few more Iron Cities. Had a nice night out with my high school buddies.
