Fabulous Disaster
Panty Raid! (Pink & Black)
by Ewan Wadharmi
The first thing that crosses your mind when you walk into a Fabulous Disaster performance is, “Hey, chick band!” The second thing that crosses your mind is, “Holy shit, this ain’t a chick band… This is a punk band!” The third thing is that guitarist Lynda Mandolyn looks an awful lot like the cute girl at Togos sub shop in Concord who reluctantly gave you a mohawk in 1989. The fourth is how you’re going to ogle her pudgy belly without arising suspicion from your wife. Fifth, you’re distracted by a flash of light that turns out to be the sticks blurring in the drummer’s hands. Sally Gess is truly brutal, smashing with blessed abandon. This’ll hypnotize you for quite a while until you remember to make eyes at the guitar player some more.
