Headlining a night when eight (yes, eight) rock bands played at the
Ace of Spades,
Wayne Static, his hairdo, and
Evil Disco took over.
Grungy, industrial, rocking: cool and fun and danceable, and the large crowd loved it. Wayne's hair is a character of it's own and deserves star placement. Along with his beard. They are part of the persona of the music

And Evil Disco it is; a genre with one true member, Mr. Static. Very aptly named.
The house had been well warmed up by seven (yes, seven) support and accompanying acts. (
The support acts were great, especially
Otep and
Dope... I'm just not convinced by the need to have so-many on one night; at least three of the support bands have enough musical material for full shows in their own right; it seems to be a common practice these days for so-many bands in one show... I'd rather see two or three, with extended sets, and at a reasonable time of the evening.)

By the time Wayne and his band arrived on stage, I think I had been awake for 28 hours straight. I'd been woken by my alarm in a hotel in the south of France at 4 a.m. and been sleepless on three planes all day, arriving back just in time to drive to the
Ace of Spades for this show. I was determined to do it, and yes, it was very much worth it.
