[from
Denmark] the motivation for this outing – this band has twice been the “best
show ever” that I missed and Rockboy saw – they definitely knew how to work a
crowd though I found the mix of psychobilly and exhortations to chant “Hell Yeah!”
disconcerting (it’s the name of their album…but still - I attributed their lack
of cultural consistency to being from Denmark) – the lead singer, Patricia Day,
has the most gorgeous honey-rich speaking voice I have ever heard and wooed the
crowd with winning grins and a tight black dress – she also played a fat
upright bass and regularly stuck a fat little tongue out of her mouth at the
crowd – she paused midway through the show and yelled at a guy in the crowd,
“Can you please stop choking him!?” and proceeded to fully berate him, telling
him to cool his hormones, it was very exciting and set the audience to cheering
– the other highlight of the band is the guitarist (and husband) and sometime
bass guitarist/vocalist as well, Nekroman, who also plays with The Nekromantix
– it seemed he must have emerged from the womb playing psychobilly music but I
found the tattoos of vegetables on his neck distracting – brightheir sound is
great: although the instrumentation tended toward straightforward psychobilly,
the songs were distinctively more melodic and gothic-lite than typical – a
sound similar to Tiger Army’s but I might think that because they share a label
- they also did a great ska song (they have three, says Patricia) - although
they put on a good show (though bringing drunk attention-seeking girls on stage
was a mistake) their sound was quite off to the point that her voice was
muffled and the sound overall was scratchy – Rockboy felt that they were
rushing through songs and had lost that raw passion that new bands have (Photo courtesy of https://www.pinterest.com/pin/212795151112733587/)
