talkin bout last night

softball massacre, mets travesty. not the best evening of my life. but a couple shots of whiskey later i found myself at speigelworld.

this place is a little strange. they're down at the south street seaport with a million dollar view and have a tent where they have burlesque shows and live music and who knows what else. we sat looking out at the bridges, being blasted by horrible techno and waiting for the show.

doors at midnight? jack and ginger for twelve dollars? manhattan is crazy.

luckily the show was worth the wait. death vessel, not so exciting. o'death, very exciting. "appalachian apocalypse," as one reviewer called it. banjo punk, slamgrass, whatever you want to say, this band fucking rocks. i am pretty sore from the mosh pit. but when do you ever get to bounce around a pit with a banjo player?

pictures shamelessly lifted from brooklynvegan.com -- last year's o'death speigeltent show:
