Yesterday night, GigLive's show at Bon Bon was video taped for what we understand is an internet show. The show featured DJ Mojo and the band Sonnet. Unfortunately, the taping was interrupted by heckling by what the British would no doubt call a daft bloke who was probably drunk. But we almost got to see a fight, which was always exciting, especially since we've always thought our camera would work well as a weapon. It seemed it twas the season of bitchiness -- a foreign lady came storming into the lobby yelling at the staff downstairs about how her pregnant friend was denied water and was then asked to pay for it. We really can't fathom why Bon Bon doesn't give people water for free -- nonetheless, that's not a reason to go postal on the Chinese staff downstairs at the door. Anyhow, after the taping was done the regular GigLive show began. It was night of local punk music, featuring Happy Sky, Mortal Fools, and Loudspeaker. We've heard that Happy Sky were formed recently, and it showed -- we know that punk is loud and brash, but you still need musicianship. After awhile, they all seemed to be playing to the beat of a different drum. Mortal Fools have a good deal of stage presence and charisma, esp. the guy dressed like a Blues Brother and the singer, who we just like taking pictures of to catalog the numerous ways he contort his face and body. And that brings us to Loudspeaker, who always put on a polished act, even when random people jumping on and off the stage (not enough crowd to crowd surf safely). And while all the bands that played last night could be categorized as punk, Loudspeaker was the only band among the three that truly felt punk.
