...In case the name wasn't enough warning

Last night I went to the Gang of Four concert at the Avalon. It was an interesting concert. The opening act was Men Women and Children (cant find their site or anything, which sucks). They didn't sound great live, and the lead singer reminded me of Adam Brody, but they had a song about a time traveling prostitute and another one about monkeys coming to eat our friends, so that makes a group worthy or recognition in my book. Then was Morningwood. They were a bit odd. Probably would have been more enjoyable had I not been with my dad. The lead singer seemed like the child of Lucy (from I love Lucy) and Betty Boop (if they somehow had a daughter), who happened to be a nympho on speed. They did some new song about girls love guys because...something. I couldn't hear what the next part one. Judging by what I do know about the group, it probably had something to do with genitals. She then transitioned from guys to horses at some point (meaning if it was about genitalia, it just got a tad bit grosser), at which time she took out one of those lil horse head on a stick things. She then began to simulate doing certain things with the stick. However, things got more akward. They got to the song "Take Off Your Clothes". She said its the naked song. She then began to stip as she sang. She stopped after removing the small thigns (gloves, headband, etc.), so I was tempoarirly relived, until she pulled some guy from the side of the stage. She then ripped off all of his clothes until he was down to his zebra print briefs, and then procedded to make out with him...while continuing the song. It was a failry akward thign to watch with your dad. Afterwards she thanked the guy because she had never seen a boner on stage before (thankfully we didn't see). Finnaly around 11 Gang of Four came on. I had never listened to them much before this week, but my dad was always telling me how great they were. They were good. Its always fun to watch old people playing rock music. Plus they sounded really good. The lead singer was jumping all over and rolling around and stuff, and the drummer looked like the "Numa Numa" guy. During one song the lead singer continously pounded on a microwave with a metal baseball bat for no reason, and it was awesome. EVentually he picked it up and just started chucking it against the floor. The guitarist also threw his guitar on the ground at one point and tried to play it with his feet. It was a good concert, and probably the strangest I've ever been too.

Thats all I feel like rambling about at the moment. I'm tired and still partially deaf.
