Voltaire and Club ? Sunday Oct. 25, 2009

So Voltaire played Club last night. Supported by Hellblinki. Together those two bands created an atmosphere not usually seen in that place. it was warmer, cheerier, and yet spookier. It was kinda like a feel I get when I watch The Nightmare Before Christmas. Happy to be dark. Y'know?

DJ Censored and I layed tracks in between and after the bands, which, well Censored is a beat-matching juggernaut and I can't even hope to match, so, I guess I rely on song selection, but I like so, piss off, y'know?

Voltaire played solo, his voice and an acoustic guitar for a few songs, before being joined by members of Hellblinki. I need to mention the female vocalist for Hellblinki last night, and i swear to balls I don't know her name, has an amazing voice, such that I was actually overheard commenting on it. ( and that actually does mean something) As it happens, the set ran down and Voltaire left the stage. As the DJ, I asked if he was doing an encore so I could know to start music or not. He said no. And then the audience started the most amazing ruckus that he couldn't ignore and went back on for two more songs! What a fucking awesome audience Milwaukee has! The final song of the night, so brilliant, Late Night Double Feature Picture Show, from Rocky Horror! Word.

So it seemed that we all had some fun, some drinks, some more than few drinks, and some times with those not seen often enough. Milwaukee, keep doin it! There are always more shows!

out.
