Bonde do Role, Plastic Little, and Edie Sedgwick at Black Cat (20070911)

I came for Edie Sedgwick and left for Bonde do Role. I had never heard Edie Sedgwick before, but was lured in by the drummer who is also in S PRCSS and Antelope. Turns out that, this iteration at least, Edie Sedgwick had Jason Hutto of The Aquarium playing keys. They sounded a little rough, but excellent–very tricky tempos.

I had seen Bonde do Role before, and paid the price with a headache. At least one friend suffered the same fate, despite my warning. You might be too cool for school, but I’m too cool for bands who can’t respect a sound system.

S PRCSS, Sentai, and DJ People’s Champion at The Hosiery (20070908)

When Sentai started, I was worried I was in for a (bad) session of noise drowning out cheeky electro-twinged synth lines. In the end, though, it was quite good–albeit with some rough edges–and could be (underwhelmingly) described as glitzed punk rock (the good kind).

S PRCSS was, as expected, excellent. The two excellent guitars created some interesting, and very subtle, sounds that kept me focused, probably at the cost of their bass and drums. Oh well.
