Puerto Rican proto punk and the Black Lips anti-show
» With Davila 666, the Beets, and the Choke at Don Pedro's.

Rumors muttered all week that Black Lips would haul ass to Don Pedro's after their Bowery show to jump on stage with ex-guitarist Jack Hines' band K-Holes and perform some impromptu numbers, but y'know, they sorta just hung out instead. Davila 666, Puerto Rican six-man outfit with girls in the audience who screamed along to all their words, picked the right neighborhood to shout out their hard rock anthems (replete with mesh wife beater-wearing tambourine player). Good old Beets played Don Pedro's for the second time in as many weeks, and the Choke, who once earned us accusations of misogyny in an earlier write up, assumed the middle position.

Lou Valentine - Mocking the lead singer of a band is misogynistic? By what line of logic? If you mock one woman, that means you mock all women? Go back to your tattoo parlor and get "misandry" on your chest bc by the logic you applied to Blake Gillespie, that applies to you.

Dear Eric-Granted you have the right to your opinion(and at the end of the day it is just that-an opinion) but don't you think that calling a woman a man,refering to her as a "transgendered Iggy Pop",calling her a man throughout, is moving perhaps just a tad into misogynistic territory? And the kicker for me was the use of the word "hate" at the end.Hate?Hate? bad choice of words-GROW UP!

Dear Lou- Pretending that the Choke frontwoman's "performance" was "great" renders all of your opinions on ANYTHING weightless. She is not a terrible frontwoman because she is a woman, she is a terrible frontwoman because she is terrible. The spitting, the jumping jacks, the attempt at singing were all equitably unwatchable. I can say honestly that this was one of the most grating performances I have ever witnessed from a lead singer in my whole life.

Dear Blake-I just finished reading that hateful misogynistic screed masquerading as a concert review about The Choke's performance in Toledo.Calling a great performer and a great woman like Cameron Eve"Him" renders ALL of your opinions about live music performance weightless INSTANTLY.Next time check your hateful opinions towards women AT THE DOOR.
