Scream Club blows my mind. They are so good. So is Romantic Retard Nation, and the FHHA!
Last night we went to the China Clipper to the show that the amazing Audrey of Pioneer Music booked.
The FHHA rocked as always with great voices, solid lyrics, and high energy. So very awesome.
Romantic Retard Nation followed with more great danceable music. They seemed quite lucid and tapped into
what folks in the room were feeling. Very highly attuned group of musicians at the Clipper last night. Romantic
Retard Nation joined forces with Scream Club for their last number as well as having both Cindy and Sarah jump
in as individuals, and Cindy jumped on drums for a song while the drum man played guitar. Sweet. Scream Club
did a great Money Loves Me to start things off, people showering them with bills and coinage while they manifested money
through the magical mantra "Money Loves Me. I am a money magnet. Money is sexually attracted to me." When someone
threw a $100 bill, the chant was over, and it was straight to the music with an oh yeah, it's going to another level tonight!
They had me dancin dancin dancin. All the songs were great. I can't deny that the most memorable thing about the show
for me will probably always be the topless revolution. In the spirit of equality of the sexes and solidarity with a sister
who was arrested for being topless when there were topless men present at a celebration around town, several people
removed their tops and the dancin' was awesome, the energy was great, it was a great statement, and a very life affirming
feeling to be there with such a great group of open minded talented rocking beautiful people. Some great additions to FHHA
since the last time I saw them. The Sexy On The Inside (SOTI) dancers were as high energy as I have ever experienced. A great
and memorable time was had by all present it seems. Joy.
