On a whim and the suggestion of a friend, I went to the Delancey last night and caught O'Death. These boys know how to throw a ho down. I'd describe them as sounding like a psycho-bluegrass version of Man Man on speed. If that sounds awesome to you, do yourself a favor and check them out. They're a good band that's entertaining to watch, and they even get folks to dance. I'll post an mp3 shortly.

Apart from the band being pretty good, there was free beer at the show (someone took a picture of me drinking said free beer for the Village Voice, perhaps I'll be famous), and right afterwards the Delancey was taken over by the after-party of John Cameron Mitchell's Shortbus, who'd had their premier that night somewhere in the LES. It was, as one might imagine, a fleshfair. Unfortunately, I left right as the mini-marching band (for real!) was finishing setting up, and before the party turned into the coked-up orgy it was meant to be. You've got to love New York sometimes.
