VF ... Porn N' Chicken ... Bayfest ***************************************************************************** Hello? Anybody out there? Two posts in a month?!? And what about all those West Coast and Midwest shows?? Only one person went?? Come on people! Work with me here! Send in some reviews ... you know you want to! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ VF ... Porn N' Chicken ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For the record, the femmes' cover of "Do You Want to Hurt Me" appears during a breakup scene in the comedy central "original" movie, "porn n' chicken." i don't know how this happened either. -josh katzjoshua@hotmail.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bayfest ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just thought I would share my Bayfest experience with anyone who cares ; ) First thing first, the show went really well for my band, we had a good crowd and with our stage being right at one of the main entrances, many people heard us. Not sure if anyone on this list caught any of it - no introductions were made. If so, our music is obviously far from that of the Femmes. Anyway: I can't tell you how nice it was checking into my hotel to find Gordon walking past me on his way out. Then not long after that Brian made is way outdoors. Had a nice brief chat with Darren Brown the tour manager who had once helped a friend of mine and I get into a sold out show in D.C. Still a nice guy. Their show was amazing for me, LOVED seeing Victor back up there. He has so much energy and enthusiasm.... you can't help but feel it in the audience. I wasn't too surprised that nothing written/recorded with Guy was played. Great to hear all of the old classic/favorite songs. Though they did do an impromptu improv letting Gordon sing to the audience in spanish! Good times. And can I tell you how perfectly timed my return to my hotel was... as I walked up to the elevator asking for it to be held, it was Gordon holding the door for me. So there I was riding up with Gordon, Brian, and Victor. Wild, I had previously met Gordon and Brian on more than one occasion, but this was a first with Victor. Nice guys as always, real nice. Anyway, it was a great weekend, great festival, and the Femmes were great... just like the old days! Michael drumgalante@hotmail.com |
