The DDS is one of the few places in Vegas to see great rock, punk and metal bands in an intimate setting--plus the beer/drinks are reasonably priced!!! The stage is pretty tiny, so the drums are about all that fits, which brings the band right onto the dancefloor, which turned into a good-natured moshpit on this particular evening. Another good thing: the show started on real rock 'n' roll time, at about 10:45, and ended around 3am or so.
That doesn't even happen in NYC much anymore.
This past weekend, I and my Reality Check TV cast checked the reality of our good friends SHE WOLVES from NYC, who were on a short West Coast Tour to support their 'ENJOY DAMNATION' cd/ep. There were some other killer bands like SADDLE TRASH and PISS POPS on the bill as well, and it was friggin' FREE ADMISSION on a Saturday nite, of all things!
SHE WOLVES busted out some new and recent tunes, as well as a few choice nugs from Dava SheWolf's previous band, CYCLE SLUTS FROM HELL, including their classic "I Wish You Were a Beer" anthem, where both my co-host DDDanny and myself joined in on the choruses! She Wolves have played both my and Danny's birthday parties in the past, one in SF, and the other in NYC, and both have been memorable affairs.
