WHTRR – Daily Life 1/28/02
BMF excerpt from Daily Life 01/28/02
Last night we went to the Cotton Club to see SPEEDEALER, SUPAFUZZ, & LENNON. Some of you may know that this site was inspired from an old song of Speedealer called “VIVA LA VULVA”. Even though they didn’t play that song, Speedealer played a brutal in your face brand of rock that is I’ve seldom seen. When I think of Speedealer, a guy in a navy blue gas station uniform, wearing an old worn cap, with the name WINT embroidered on the chest comes to mind for some reason. The lead singer reminds me of this guy. Pissed off, and has thought long and hard about what he wants to say and says it with a ferocity that slams you back hard, very heavy. The drummer doesn’t just hit the skins, his hands come up way over his head with almost every beat and comes down to slam the drums with the same intensity that the other band members display. A special thanks to Eric for adding to my BMF signature collection.
SUPAFUZZ I had never heard of until last night. They too play a unique style of intensity. They do it with a sense of humor that comes from the lead singer both in song and in between songs. After their show I got to talk to the lead singer briefly. Very nice guy. Thanks for the CD. Look for a review of it on the Review/Link page.
LENNON was good too I suppose. Just not my type of band. I wanted to like them but they seemed too rehearsed to be having a good time. Look for more on the show on the Review page.

Another band we found by accident. Out on the town to have some drinks and hang out. Ended up at the ECHO LOUNGE. There was a huge buzz about this band from the moment we walked into the bar. Cool name, ok we’ll check it out. Got drunk. Listened and watched them play 3 songs. Bought their cd at the door before we left. Next day. Popped the cd in, and on came “WHATEVER HAPPENED TO ROCK AND ROLL”. This song is one example of a new band writing something that is gonna mean something later on. This song inspired the name of this site. Even though that array of words have been used plenty of times by acts way before BMRC’s time and mine, the way they say it and express it is something special. Check it out. Awesome website too by the way.
