I’m back from the Revamp show. The show itself was what it was. Not all that exciting especially with only about 10 people actually paying attention. I had to do my maniac dancing just to stay interested. I lost cool points for sure, but as Ed says, “wtf”.
Talked to Sin a little bit. Oddly, when I went inside the place a girl I know said hi to me. Turns out she knows Sin pretty well along with the rest of the Ministry crew. Phil Owens was supposed to show up but didn’t. I was hoping to meet the dude in order to put things into perspective. She said she had the Luc Van Acker Revolting Cocks penis suit at her house for awhile and it smelled of Belgian musk. Kind of funny I guess.
Anyway, Sin is a nice guy. I learned some stuff about Snow Black and when RevCo will be touring. His girlfriend was with him and she has it going on. Met the DJ Hardware dude, too.
Anyway, if there were 100 super Ministry fans in the audience it would have been more fun but as it was it was a little dead so no so great. Oh well. But, I am glad I went.
Maybe the problem with is that we’ve heard these songs a million times. So by now they are so ingrained in our psyche that anything that deviates from the regular version just sounds weird… I know dave navarro and some dj (was it skibble?) have done somethign like that on occasion, just guitar and dj and i’ve heard good things… But in jersey we always hear things.
besides I think this is more of a show that’s to be danced to… standing around watching a dj spin would get kinda boring. not as fast given that there’s the guitarist there, but unless something else is going on it’s not gonna be visually stimulating… unless do they have movies or projections or anything going on?
I love kik 606 and saw him about 9 years ago open for bs2000 in NYC and it was just him and a laptop… nothing else at the bowery ballroom, and thankfully the crowd at the time got the idea and focused more on dancing and acting like this was a club admosphere there a show for the set, and it made things much more pleasant. but i’m just going on with useless drivel and circling a dead carcass of a point like some weird hawk in the desert
hmmm, i prob won’t go - but if it hits me that night - i will. i elected to smoke cigs outside instead of mingling at the ohgr show. might see you rev. prob not - but might.
Hey fellas. Well I was at this show last night in Austin. Stood in the back and at the bar. I was kind of bummed that there werent too many people there but I thought Sin and Hardware did a pretty damn good job.
I disagree that Sin didnt seem into it. I mean, there werent that many people but he seemed to be doing his guitar thing just fine.
I spoke to Sin briefly and he signed my copy of Sex-O and Hardware seemed pretty nice as well.
A friend of mine was at their Philly show and he said it was packed. Go figure.
They opened with a non Ministry track called “Deceive” then it was all Ministry after that. I overheard that they were gonna do some other electro tracks and some Revolting Cocks as well but that didnt happen. I did overhear Sin asking some of the people that were their what they wanted to hear and I think thats what they played.
All in all it was a small crowd but they sounded great and I had a good time.
Waiting for The RevCo Tour!!
why do get i the feeling this" destroyer" person is angie.
on a different note, this whole project is a dead idea, as some here have already illustrated. and yeah, i hear sin’s a nice guy. ok. if i wanted to see nice guys perform live i would’ve been a devoted fan of phil collins a very long time ago. he’s a REALLY nice guy.
as far as patti jourgensen goes, she still lives in austin and is doing well. i don’t think she does much musically related work anymore but she’s sober, and really works for a living. gets my nod. i always thought she was cool and worked hard to assist al’s career. she was his manager for a while, if i remember correctly and booking agent. she always treated the “help” with respect.
