Title: Saturday

I went to see my friend's friend's band Dolorata (http://myspace.com/dolorata) at The Bottom Of The Hill (http://myspace.com/bottomofthehill) in The City.  I was pleasantly surprised.  I really like Dolorata and they sound better every time I hear them.  Great rhythm section and the violinist is amazing.  But I was really pleased with the other three bands.  Dynamite 8 (http://myspace.com/dynamite8) opened and totally kicked ass.  Joanne is a great singer (she also is Clam Dip, the drummer for the Womentors (http://myspace.com/womentors)).  Great stage presence and personality.  The Charm School Dropouts (http://myspace.com/charmschooldropouts) went on next.  The singer threw sex toys out into the audience.  I bought their CD for $7.  Great set. 

Third was Dolorata and they rocked as usual.  The headliners were Wire Graffiti (http://myspace.com/wiregraffiti).  Good show, expecially their finale.  The guitarist was over the top on that one.  Nice wall of sound.  I bought their new CD as it was their CD release show and they threw in their previous one for free.  $10.  I really wish I could get out more, and at $10 for shows like these it's definitely affordable.  So I'm out $27, had a great time, and have 3 CDs.  Kids be sure to support your local bands, the over-produced commercial stuff is crap.  Crap I say!
