Show Review - June 26th

"The night began with the sights, sounds, and enthusiasm of Rutger & Wendy. Wendy started the show by trying to get the crowd into the groove and dance, even though the crowd wasn't drunk enough I'm sure I saw temptation glittering in some peoples eyes.
Rutger & Wendy are a mix of electronic rock and improvised dance, zapped with a hundred volts of glitter. Sharing the vocal duties their songs range from hip-shakers to robot ballads.
Wendy on vocals/guitar and Rutger on bass/keyboards/vocals were troubled by a bit of drummer difficulties but it was an experience to see them play.
What other band can you hear a song sung by Optimus Prime?"

Recent Reads

It begins with Mark Spitz's Bowie: A Biography. Pretty inspiring for the first three quarters or so. Particularly around the Diamond Dogs - Station to Station period. Unfortunately around Lodger he basically starts just going through the motions.






However that book lead me to John Rechy's City of Night. The story of a youngman and the people he meets as he hustles his way across the United States.


Next (for reasons I won't explain here) I chose to read Mysterious Skin by Scott Heim. Which is basically about the different ways in which two boys deal with the experience of being preyed upon by their Little League coach.

Also, if you haven't, check Gregg Araki's film adaptation. I like it better than the book myself, though that's possibly only because I saw it first (and am planning on rewatching it this evening).








Then yesterday/today I read (well re-read, I went through a beat phase when I was 17) Queer by William Burroughs. Not a bad little book, too quick to get annoying.

I then planned on reading Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (finally), but it was out so I settled for American Psycho instead.

Baby Steps

A new era begins.

Rutger and Wendy are making their debut this coming Friday February 12th at Happy, corner of Tory and Vivian Streets, Wellington.

Entry is $10, but I believe that includes a copy of the new album by Vostok Lake (who is the shows headliner).

Make sure you're there by 10pm to avoid missing out.
