Last night I went to see local phenomena The Volumes. They played at Grand Central bowl of all places... which was kinda strange. The end of the show was even stranger. Let me preface this by saying if you haven't seen The Volumes live then you are totally missing out cause they put on a fucking amazing show. The energy of the band is unbelievable and the lead singer (Morgan) is out of control. I've seen him rock, roll and crawl down the length of the entire bar of Kelly's Olympian. He has an amazing stage presence that must be seen to be understood.
Ok... back to the story. As you would imagine, the sound at a bowling alley for a live performance is naturally sucky, but once again The Volumes performance was awesome. I think they played about 5 songs when all of the sudden some long hair dandy-boy that looks like he is straight out of the band Extreme, cuts off the sound to Morgans' speaker. Morgan responded by kicking the speaker, which turns out to be the disgruntled wannabe butt-rockers'. The next thing you know there is a little pushing and lots of yelling and the show stopped. The butt-rock dude screaming that Morgan is a prima-donna and that the bands sucks and no one was enjoying the show. Some more words were exchanged then butt-rock dude starts throwing a hissy-fit like a little girl and screams at Morgan, "you'll never work in this town again!!" The entire crowd started laughing at the butt-rock dude which made him even more angry. At this point some dude from the audience gets in the butt-rock guys' face to haze him for being an asshole, then turns to the crowd and shouts "what do you think of The Volumes!" and the crowd went nuts, it was so fucking funny. I thought the butt-rock dudes' head was going to pop. I swear he almost cried. Just when I thought this couldn't get any funnier, it turns out butt-rock dude is just the sound guy for the bowling alley! WHAT A FUCKING LOSER. I still can't get over the fact that a sound guy for a bowling alley thinks he has the power to sink anyones career. "You'll never work in this town again"? I don't believe there has ever been a more appropriate poster boy for the term ass clown.
