Yo hey
Rob & I saw The Residents in Philly at the Troc this past
Wednesday...Here's a little review for those interested in such.
Anyways...The Residents were, um, The Residents...I dunno, it was the first
time I'd seen them...I have a few of thier more obscure things like 'a big
10-4 place' (or something like that) and this ther odd thing made of
ambient sounds and snatches of music that I like to use during a chill out
set.....I'd heard about them for years, so thought this was the perfect
opportunity for some unusual fun...and unusual it was, and kinda fun and
funny...the female singer is excellent, mr skull was in fine voice, and the
4 eyeball guys came out only once for a short intermission/leg stretch from
thier posts - these gauze framed stalls, 2 on either side of the area where
the performers did thier thing...they had some new instruments, and I was
lovin some of the tribally deep bassy beat patterns. The lights were real
purty too.
They drew a really good size crowd! Oh yeah, they were really pushing thier
new DVD, that was this tour, "Icky Flix" is all about...all these videos,
and the songs have been reworked.
Ok, well, it was a nice Valentines day, a bit unusual, but then, so is life :)
