The Burning of Rome (www.myspace.com/theburningofrome )is the other band at Speakeasy Studios. Their drummer, Lee, owns the place and we rent a side room from him. Their sound is kinda like death-pop. I read a review that classified them as gypsy vampire punks (something like that). Well, I've been talking out my ass for months saying that we were going to come to their shows. Well, Evan (band mate in The Gents) and I finally made it out. They opened for Dead Man's Party (an Oingo Boing tribute band). It was a really great show for them with a good size crowd. They have lots of energy, noise, and stage presence. Really energized with great harmonies singing some dark-comedy-esque lyrics. Really glad I made it out to show some love!

 

Dead Man's Party was great as well (www.myspace.com/deadmansparty). People often overlook Oingo Boingo's contribution to music when thinking about great bands of the 80s. Too bad. Dead Man's Party puts on a great performance. All members really perform. Horns = AWESOME!!! Their singer is so good too. Really gives it his all for Danny Elfman!

 

So yeah... Another concert for me.
