HECUBA + RAINBOW ARABIA + LAZER SWORD + GHOSTS ON TAPE @ THE ECHO
September 16th, 2009 · 1 Comment
When Tim “Terrorbird” said there’d be new Rainbow Arabia songs and new Hecuba haircuts at this show, I blushed, “Hecuba Haircuts?!!” —Wow, a lot of them hairs was snipped. No bodysuit (Jerry) or wife beater (Tom) on these bods tonight.

Or art for love. Or sacrifice inverting beauty and dang. No-eyebrow minimalism, I must agree.

DAEDELUS @ THE ECHOPLEX

The only time there was break in the music was when he’d stand back for a second with his hand on his chest as if to remind himself to breathe, look at his creation, and give the sly smile of a completely satisfied artist. When a performer is so completely into his own creation, it’s easy to overlook any faults—you see how much he loves it and you love it too. What’s special about Daedelus, though, is that there aren’t any faults to overlook.
