CSS at Bimbo's

Hey, it's been a long time since I posted and I wanted to tell you all about seeing one of my new fave bands CSS at Bimbo's last weekend. CSS is a brilliant Brazilian dance punk band with great songs and attitude. Dawn and I actually got to go into San Francisco for a real night on the town -- which never happens -- and see an awesome show at a fun venue. Yay!



It was our first time at Bimbo's and we both really liked the club -- elegant, just the right size, and plenty of bars (Manhattan for me and Teqmapolitan for honey).

Natalie Portman's Shaved Head was the opening act, and they were pretty fun. I kind of liked their concept better than most of their songs - however they really got going for the last few numbers. Worth checking out if you're into that sort of techno dance pop snarky queer sort of thing.

After NPSH finished we refreshed our drinks and found our places on the right side of the dance floor with a decent view of the action. Before long Lovefoxxx and the rest of the band took the stage and a fabulous time resulted. They were totally as fun as I imagined them to be. They all seemed to be having a really good time -- Lovefoxx bounced around the stage while everybody kicked ass on guitars, keyboards and drums.

They played most everything I could have hoped for, including most of the new album and most of my faves from their first including Paris Hilton, Music is My Hot Hot Sex and Let's Make Love and Listen to Death from above. (I found this photo of the set list.) The one song I was really hoping to hear but didn't was Patins of the first album, but no biggy. By all means, check them out on Youtube and you can become a fan like me.

Here are some more fuzzy shots, including my special signed vinyl. Yay!
