It was with the enspattering of crust-infested black metal guitar samples triggered classic backdoor style by a fistful of excellent acts at the Burning Fleshtival this past summer in mind, that the WIERD closed its slowly burning tired eyez, and let the brutally shredded-apart high end tornado flow over it out of Frank's guitar as the legendary Lebenden Toten destroyed on a wild bill at The Acheron last month. As if he was channelling SPK's Leichenschrei via Helios Creed or maybe the wretchly rusted overhead scrape of M trax on Myrtle slowed down to 16rpm on yr seemingly neverending 10 mile hungover walk to work at 7am in mid. Feb, after you lost yr shirt at the club or panties in yr stalker ex-boyfriend's car the blacked-out night before, however the fuck he gets that brilliantly bright sound out of 5 tightened strings and not an oscillator who the hell knows...when the treble's so in the red and hurts so fukin bad its like an inner face paper cut massage of lovely death...and theres no naughty-nice reach-around, or a skinny ladyfinger wandering slowly down, to make it end all clean and smiley "ahh". It just IS, it hurts, you love it, and you want more...as always it's in times like this, by unpopular lack of demand, the WIERD's there for you when you least want IT most...but as we all know this IT 'is' the want ITself, and thus fuck you is thereby forever an impossibility...so good luck with that gurlfriend(and as always I don't mena you ladis), wonder whos got yr panties now??? oooh...mmm hmm. VR.
And this ever-ominous IT that plagues us all is goin down again tonight in another face ripping killer gig in the WIERD World as we're honored to welcome the weekly party debut of DAWN OF HUMANS and the triumphant VReturn of our ever-beloved PHARMAKON for a double bill of live performance intensity at Midnight! Neither of these artists need any introductions - one of the nasty ball-in-chain(literally, see YouPube link below, VR) pillars of the moldy bedbug powerhouse of dirty pleasure that is the crazy spirited NYC punk scene soon to put yr crib out on the street too, and the long-time icy black princess of the Red Light District herself Ms. Margaret Chardiet curdling yr blood with her shrilldrilled vox of bliss...and both crews in tow and grumpy-drunk as ever.The trannies took the punks to town out out back last month, so we're gonna givem another chance tonite to take it like the men they always wanted to be. Call IT the Paedophiles vs. the guttersluts(no wait duh that sounds like a future marriage proposal, whatever)...tonite's going to be good. Very Rare indeed.
