Important little announcement: Tonight's edition of Les Infants Terribles will be on the third floor of the Broderick Tower, rather than the basement ballroom. The new space was previewed at the Run.Stop.Restore party with Magda and Troy Pierce during the Movement festival, and features many strange nooks and crannies and a definite abandoned building vibe which can only be described as "sketchy awesomeness." Plus, the sound system has been refurbed from the ground up to provide more than ample noise vibration and harshness for all the terrible children.

New favorite quote: Martin Atkins to Boomer Reynolds, "Your friends [Mark Lazar and myself] are crazy!" ...this coming from one of the pivotal players of the original London punk scene and the Chicago industrial scene. Heh heh. Wait 'til Mark and I unleash the live bat pinata! (just kidding... maybe.)

After giving up hope around 11:30pm, I did finally get in to the very sold out Skinny Puppy show in Detroit last night. (I know you were all hanging on bated breath.) HUGE thanks to Katie and Bethany for making it happen, and extra special thanks to Liz and Nix for the valiant effort on behalf of my dumb ass who didn't buy tickets in advance. (Is it weird that all my Puppy contacts are girls?) Anyway, the show was really good - lots of old favorites, including VX Gas Attack, Glass Houses, and of course Testure as an encore.

a few pics:







...and some 12 second video clips of Glass Houses and Tin Omen (The sound is horribly garbled on the clips, but it was super clear in person. You get the idea.)

edit: the above should open in Quicktime. Let me know if therey're not working for you - see Contact section at left. Oh, and hello to everyone wandering over from the Litany boards! Yes, I know the clips are short and the sound is horrible.
