Edwyn Collins is a consummate performer, and he writes wonderful songs as well. He’s just as good on stage as he is on record, and that suits me just fine.
He sang the songs from Outside, the soundtrack to a diary not yet complete. He made the connection between the misery of NIN and the whirling life around us.
Angry Salad is one of those rare rock bands that is not attempting to save the world; the boys are just trying to look good, sound good, and have a good time.
They’re a fun band with a few good songs like, “Everything About You.” The highlight of the evening was hearing their catchy new tune, “Jesus Rode A Harley.”
Witnessing the shirtless Wimpy perform near Satanic rituals set me back a bit, like to the far end of the room. They ripped thru 15 early songs in 20 minutes.
