The Bigsby-equipped Epiphone hollowbody and an admitted fondness for surf and rockabilly might lead one to expect a strictly 50s-style rock operation, but Danger and Co. have later influences. Witness the covers of Iggy Pop (The Passenger) and Elvis Costello (Watching The Detectives), along with Secret Agent Man and a savagely dispatched version of Lawrence Gowan's Criminal Mind.
Mr. Danger - in person!
Popsicle Pete. Yes, there are other places to go, but do they have velvet paintings of dobermans on the wall? I think not ...
Chunk. That's all. Chunk.
In action!
Danger, Pete, and a "microphone that needs Viagra."
No danger of boredom; N.D. was much more active than the pictures suggest. I only took a few since there's nothing more annoying than a flash in a small room when you're just out for a drink. Excellent new EP from Danger and Co., by the way. Next time they play I definitely want to hear their cover of Television Personalities' Diary of a Young Man.
- Show reminder: Steven Dall and the Department of Foreign Affairs play Zaphod's. Trevor Alguire of Mercury Pickup and Tom Thompson open. Spend a quiet evening at Babylon with Blood Brothers, The Plot To Blow Up The Eiffel Tower and Big Business. Skank and dip to The Planet Smashers, The Peacocks and The Manglers at Maverick's, or go over their head and catch some indie rock with Parlormaid, National Monument (from Winnipeg; their label's website says they've been compared to "Jesus and Mary Chain, Television, My Bloody Valentine, The Stooges, Polvo and Sonic Youth," so they must be really good!), Dear Jane I... and The Boffus Trio at Cafe DeKcuf.
