OH MY GOODNESS

 It certainly was a night to remember . I had never seen GG Allin in person, even though I'm more than old enough to have been able to, but I also was never really a fan of his for so many reasons. So why the fuck was I at The Phoenix last night to see Bloody Betty do a GG tribute ? For the sheer spectacle and entertainment of it all, of course. And holy crap did she ever pull it off. Fake crap, urine, and blood kept people happy . It's what they expected , obviously, and who wants to go away disappointed ? They were not. Not to mention the excessively rude banter, which was perfect for what was going on. Musically, the band pulled it off , despite having practiced maybe three times ? Then again, Willy and Dustin are pros , and fans of GG.

Before that all happened, there was Klawalka, doing their chicken headed metal craziness , and also The Party Animals, a Turbo Negro tribute band, both fronted by Brainz of The Gnar Gnars. I couldn't believe his voice held out for all of that, and his energy was there for both bands. No fucking holding back, that's for sure.

It was a terrific night, and you should have been there.
Maybe next time.
Good night.
