Rasputina live kicks ass. Everyone should go.

[Troy Spiral (13)]

It doesnt get much more "Modern Gothy Cannon" than this.

If anyone is wondering where to find an card-carrying,.smart, cool, victorian spookhouse, all-girl corsety gothish show, this is your chance.

No idea who these girls are? Think tori amos mixed with a carinval barker style souxie & the banshees sensiblity. Tunes played musicians that really know how to actually play their insturments extreemly well. Most all of their stuff has some sort of intellectual concept idea and lots of bitting witty satire with a heavy historical bent. OMG.. no 16 bmp electronic drum loops???

Most of the world first heard of Melora Creager (founder of the band) durring her playing cello backup on Nirvana's final tour , or rasputina via the song "Transylvanian Concubine" which was part of the soundtrack for a Buffy the Vampireslayer episode.

If you want to do some pre-show research i'd probably start here:

(the easy way)

or here:

(the hard way)

Yummy, I need to find a hot corsetted date for the show...

[Guest MsMaldoror]

Yes, Rasputina is great live. They always put on a fun show--very witty humor mixed with sexy corsets and wonderful music. I'm sure I'll end up going to the show.

[Daniel]

I will very likely be there.

[Jarodaka]

Also see the Grand Rapids show the next day if that's closer for anyone.

[Scary Guy]

I plan on being at the pig for that, since it's a Friday and I won't have to work.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Heh.. I have the desire to go.. the means, and the corset... But that's moving weekend and going out would face much adversity.

[Goth Brooks]

I have been looking forward to this show for a long time, I cannot wait! I loved the CD a friend lent to me, however I truly fell in love with Melora when she covered the opening bit of Sir Mix-A-Lot's Baby Got Back in '02.

I hope to see everyone there.. if Meg shows up, I'll even dance, as promised.

[Guest PumpkinPete]

Rats.

I caught - and came to love Rasputina during - them opening for Sugar years ago.

Alas, this is the day of my bee-day party (sad when you throw it for yourself) so I cannot attend. Double rats.

Damn. I'll be at work next door to the Pig at that time. =(

[LuluVox]

Aha, I'm totally going. My boyfriend is the champ and is buying my ticket, even though he's not gonna be there. Heck yes (to the ticket, not to going boyfriendless).

[Goth Brooks]

:( I missed it, I slept through it.

I hope it was a great show.

[Scary Guy]

As did I, decided not to go and save cash, then I went to sleep.

[TomCat]

Probably could've gone, buty I got drunk instead and stayed localy.

[Aralis]

We were planning to go but my friend didnt get ahold of me till yesterday while I was working and I didnt think she would be going since her stepmother had passed earlier this week. So our plans kinda fell thru. =(
