Big thanks to J’s Heaven for reviewing The Ex-Girlfriends Club live at Dante’s with Sexywaterspiders, Di Di Mau, No Tomorrow Boys and Holy Children.
J writes, “Ex-Girlfriend’s Club up first: the singer was like some frankenstein’s hodge podge of Joey Ramone, Mick Jagger, and Iggy Pop. He’s about 9 feet tall, and he was the best performer i’ve seen in a minute. They tore up a homage to the early to mid 60s, at times extremely reminiscent of the Brian Jonestown Massacre, but laced with amphetamines and booze, to conjure the true theater of the absurd and dangerous. It was like some shamanic invocation, to tear a hole through time, space, and history, to that meta-reality where everything is happening simultaneously, and the spirit of cynicism, ‘been there, done that.’ has no room to breathe and breed. They ended with one of the most excellent stage dives I’ve ever seen, with the singer than running around the infernal theater, knocking over beers and singing into people’s eyes. Tremendous. Highly Recommended! “
