American Sugar Bitch Live in New York By Tokemaster General, Contributor Friday, May 6, 2005 @ 1:32 PM
On Saturday night I made my way over to the
Continental to check out American Sugar Bitch. I know
their music but this was the first time I would "get
my bitch on" live. After driving into New York City my
stress level was through the roof, as I was preparing
for a taxi to drive up my ass at any moment. The first
thing I did at the bar was to order a shot, as I was
happy I did not receive a vehicular enema on my way to
the club.
If you are in New York you have to check out the club.
There is such nostalgia within these walls- Iggy Pop,
Patti Smith the Ramones have all played at the
Continental. The club is known for their award winning
sound and their support for the scene. (The bathroom
is something to be desired, but hey, after a few
drinks it will do). The club is one room with the bar
along the side when you first come in and there are a
few tables. So if you want to sit, come early!
American Sugar Bitch started at 8:30 PM, so I arrived
around 7:45 PM. I found the club all ready full when
I arrived, many people were sporting American Sugar
Bitch T-shirts. I met up with two girlfriends who were
positioned at the bar and gabbing away with a good
looking tall Billy Idol-ish looking man. My friend
introduced me to Matt, the guitarist from ASB. He had
a quick beer with us ladies before he had to get ready
to play.
The band came on in a fury, they were full of energy
and the crowd was happy to respond back. The singer,
Dave Weakley had a strong voice and you could tell he
was there to kick the living crap out of us. It was
fresh to see a band that could play AND put on a great
live show. They gave themselves a good workout moving
around the stage & they made eye contact with the
crowd. I am sure if there was more room they would
have been up on the bar and jumping off the stools.
They were really tight and transitioned well from one
song to the next.
I have all 3 CDs from ASB and was happy to hear songs
from all 3 of them in their 35 minute set.
The songs that stuck in my head from the set are:
Goodbye, Polluted, Spilling Blood and Passing Time and
of course "Work Sucks".
The song "Work Sucks" really got the entire club into
it. Everyone was singing along with Weakley and
laughing at his comments. This song should be the
anthem for every working man & woman.
Set list:
Goodbye
After the show the entire band was mingling with the
crowd. They were very approachable & fun to party
with. By the end of the night I got to meet everyone
in the band. I have seen many bands that do not
attempt to meet anyone, these guys were cool enough to
take the time to have a few drinks with their fans.
