Doctor Dark at Cafe 9

Thursday, April 06, 2006

The opening band was the Fighting Cocks. They were like a spazzy post-punk blues band fronted by Will Ferrell. He played a seven string guitar and did a little jogging-in-place dance.
Doctor Dark would have benefitted from a bigger stage. At one point, there were 7 people performing. And the benefit wouldn't have been just spatial, the audio sounded cramped as well. Will from the Vultures played accordion and that made my night; I didn't even realize there were accordion parts to Captain Beefheart songs.
I think a third band played, too, but I was tired and my ears hurt.
