Maybe the best I've ever written. Sounds as if you like it too!<br /><br />Tell me where you found my "quote". I'm all for touching, loving, squeezing - all that. Doesn't sounds like something I'd say, but maybe I wrote after someone knocked over my beer, in which case I probably did say it.<br /><br />And you haven't been keeping up at all, The Bible! I stopped the libertarian stuff a while ago.

Similar to Naoko/Nancy of Shonen Knife - these are very talented people who continue to show signs of real vision in spite of perhaps struggling sometimes with their own formulae.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36274466.post-35854661797750356882007-09-20T23:20:00.000-07:002007-09-20T23:20:00.000-07:00The Dwarves played in Belgium as part of a Subpop ...The Dwarves played in Belgium as part of a Subpop package with The Supersuckers and The Reverend Horton Heat. Everybody who entered the club received a little paper that said that the club could not be held responsable for damages or injuries. When The Dwarves appeared on stages, 'He Who Cannot Be Named' spitted me right in the eye (ouch!) and started to smash his guitar. The sound was a bomb! Most of the people kept a certain distance while a few pogoed and got kicked in the face every now and then. At the time, my wife had a broken arm (not my fault!) and followed the show upstairs in disbelief. When the 15-minutes show was over, The Dwarves went upstairs to the backstage and I remember how she was scared as hell: besieged by The Dwarves! No need though, 'cuz later in the evening, I heard Blag Dahlia asking someone what he thought of the show and if it was fun so in the end, I realised it was just some kind of entertaining freakshow.

There were a bunch of longish bench type tables at the front of the stage which Blag upon appearing on stage proceeded to hurl out of the way scattering the smallish crowd that had turned up to see them perform.<BR/><BR/>This of course had the effect of the Gaslight bouncers running at the stage, at which point Blag started screaming at them over & over something along the lines of just wanting 'to play fuckin' rock'n'roll'. The fact that the guy looked (& was behaving) totally unhinged actually had the bouncers looking <B>very</B> apprehensive about jumping him before they actually backed down & left him & the band to complete their very short set.<BR/><BR/>Whether this was their 'schtick' or not, I couldn't say, but it was probably the wildest thing I have ever seen. Even more so than the GG Allin show I saw in Philadelphia months later. I got the opportunity to see the Dwarves again in Denver towards the end of 1991, & it wasn't the same. By that stage Salt Peter was gone, they had added a second guitar & were playing much longer sets with <B>none</B> of the danger of that Gaslight show.<BR/><BR/>Then when they toured Australia a couple of years back I didn't bother seeing them as I knew there'd be no way they'd be anywhere near as good as they were at that first show of theirs I saw.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36274466.post-14303416307438702912007-09-20T19:04:00.000-07:002007-09-20T19:04:00.000-07:00I got to see them in London when SubPop was the bi...I got to see them in London when SubPop was the biggest thing since tea w/ milk in it. The indie rock and trendy set came to see a subpop showcase and I kept grinning in anticipation of what was going to happen to these clowns. Out came the Dwarves smacking people, someone at the front of the stage got kicked and a bass guitar was raised overhead to smash someone. I can still see the look on the the face of this uber trendy woman who hadn't bargained for this 4 minute atrocity...people tried to get back their money, it was bliss.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
