[Previous entry: "Music boosts immune system"] [Main Index] [Next entry: "beers and microscopes"] 02/05/2004 Entry: "Lord Bishop Rocks!" Lord Bishops Rocks Dresden with Lordly-yet-Bishoply Sex Rock. When you're a lord and a bishop, you've got two whole estates covered. You have serfs, a nice fiefdom, vassals, but you can also move diagonally, sell indulgences, and move for excomunication. Throw in a zebra-striped fez, some metal, and a dollop of sex, and you have a Lord Bishop show. The two opening bands, Projekt Plazebo and Dosenbier, both rendered a good draw. D-bier more than P-P, which is why they played second. That was kind of a shame. In my opinion, Projekt Plazebo was ten times better than Dosenbier (which, by the way, means beer-in-cans). PP had a much more compelling sound. The odds are against them. The singer looks like one of the guys from Blankton Forschung, a local hiphop act, and the drummer looks like a bemohawked Billy Bragg. So they looked scuzzy. What's more, their band name sucks. There already is a well known punk act called Placebo, with an androgynous vocalist who sounds like Geddy Lee. But their music was melodic and interesting, and the vocals were musical and merited attention. Dbier, on the other hand, sounded mundane and trite. They rocked out sloppy unimaginative punk riffs and blödly blared out hack lyrics extolling the virtues of cheap Felsenkeller beer (in a can, of course) and drinking beer out of cans. Reads: Die Ärtze likes beer. Well, it has been two and a half years since I played drums for LB and then parted on bad terms, but I cannot deny it was a daisy to see the old lad again. Yep, I was not the only ex-drummer there. Gero showed up, as did our drummer from Dude Dude Chick. I got some scans too, so click
