last night boyfriend john and i went to the bowery ballroom to hear Swedish glam-rock band the ark. woah! first of all, when they came out on stage the audience absolutely freaked out. like, lost their minds. i don't think i've ever heard that much shrieking at the bowery ballroom at any show ever. i think all their fans must be super fans.
i'd already heard the ark referred to as "the swedish scissor sisters" so i anticipated a certain amount of gayness, but these guys were absolutely, positively, Gaying It Up! totally campy, over-the-top, rock and roll gayitude. like queen on poppers. it felt a bit like watching hedwig and the angry inch. not to mention that every other word out of the singers mouth was "gay". in fact, i don't think i could imagine a gayer way to spend an evening. we kind of loved it.
unfortunately, princess superstar was on stage when we got there. we'd hoped to be spared the agony. god, she was awful.
all of my pictures of the ark came out blurry because a) the singer was leaping around at hyper-speed pretty much the whole time, and b) i'm a crap photographer. but here they are.
we ran into our friend alana in the crowd. she's into glam. she was stoked.
the end!
HAHAHAHAHA! Absolute fantastical awesomeness!
