Friday night in Detroit just got a lot more complicated:

The Legendary Pink Dots are performing live at the Magic Bag Theatre. I've seen them twice, and its nothing short of amazing. Edward Ka-Spel is some kind of Martian psychedelic goth genius who will make you equally inspired and frightened, with a voice as seductive as Brian Ferry's. So good. Although the Dots have always been somewhat in the shaddow of peers like Psychic TV, most people are probably familiar with The Tear Garden, Ka-Spel's side project with Skinny Puppy (sans Ogre) and their Joy Division-esque 1992 radio hit Romulus and Venus.

Oslo presents Rob Hood, Perspects and Legowelt this Friday. If it were any other night I'd be gushing all over this event. Any one these guys alone would be incredible. Dammit! I'm going to stay true to the family, and will be spending the whole evening with the Ghostly crew though. Really though.... 'Nuf said.

By the way, the proprietor of Oslo told me tonight that Burnlab is their #5 web referral. They now have a real site, so lets' kick it up. :)
