The Lovemakers Shake That Ass
Scott Blonde of Oakland band, The Lovemakers says LA is a butthole. He’s not shy about it. But now that the Interscope Records Lovemakers have had KROQ smile upon them, he says LA is not so bad. He’s even starting to think it might not be such a butthole.
“Playing for 2000 people is not bad,” Blonde says laughingly. “Down there, we’ve kinda hit, and it’s nice.” “KROQ definitely helps to reach the California masses.” “In Seattle, and the Northwest, we’re still converting people.” He says, “We love it up here and we’ll be back as often as we can.”
The Tuesday night show at Chop Suey was not 2000 people, but it was a lively jumping bunch. ‘Shake That Ass’ had the disco ball grinding.
“You can have my love, if you shake that ass for me.”
Singer, bassist, Lisa Light, poured a bottle of water on herself and danced. It was so hot. Waterfall style, and she slithered underneath, in glitter eyed, low end lockdown.
Blonde & Light went at it, with a very sexy and long kiss in the middle of a Blonde solo. To play like that, and kiss like that, at the same time, sums up The Lovemakers as genuine sexiness. Someone said they sound like Led Zeppelin playing Prince songs, but I heard a little more Duran Duran’s ‘Hungry Like the Wolf.’
Blonde said The Lovemakers get to open for James Brown soon. “I mean, it’s James Brown!” He said.
** Attn all musicians: Pouring water on yourself while you play greatly enhances the stage show. But be careful not to electrocute.
Trent - out.

I'm going to pour water on myself right now. It IS sexy.
They're sexy, but boring. I thought about going to the show, but after visiting their website and watching the video for "Shake That Ass," I nearly slipped into a hipster-induced coma. Vapid. But I guess that's what makes it fun for some folks.
Anyway, the lineup kept me from wanting to check out HLAK, which I've been curious about.
Someone's gotta post about that fucking Dabrye show tonight. Kadence pulverized. The lineup was totally devastating.
Wait, how do you know if they were boring if you didn't go the show?
HLAK is worth the trip. I'm a trip hop fan, and some of the stuff is getting toward that. And live manipulation of drum sounds is always something I admire.
I don't know if I was erect, but when she poured the water, at first, I thought it was a beer and i was like, oh my god, is she pouring a beer on herself? Then I saw it was water and thought sexy.
Hungry like the wooooooooolf.
Vapid, hmmm, let me go get my dictionary...
If you don't like to dance, then you probably wouldn't like The LM's.
Boring? The Lovemakers are the farthest thing from boring. Come on Seattle, don't be a clone. Like something that everyone else doesn't already like.
And Slender Means, Maktub, The Cops, Daylight Basement, and My Morning Ja... I mean, Band of Horses aren't boring?

I was erect when she dumped the water.
