Fillmore

I found true assuagement from the banality of music that I've been hearing recently. I saw The Cult last night at the Fillmore and they are truly awesome. It was perhaps the finest rock show I have ever seen, and I've see some shit. First, the Fillmore is quite the venue; you walk in and the band is there, right in front of you, you can clearly see the performers faces, the sweat, the grimaces when a beat or lick goes awry. The Cult are gods of rock. They are the band I would make if I could make such things. Right from the opening, with that fat white Gibson hollow body wailing, the entire drum kit shaking in rhythm, and the singer letting loose, I knew it was my kind of show. My ears are still ringing a day later.
