[bomp] Ding Dong Lounge New Year's Eve Party

["Susan Hilton" <agent99ish2@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

   All the Boston bands kicked New York butt:  Downbeat 5, DMZ, Real Kids 
and Lyres.  New York 1 (for Purple Wizard); Boston 10,000.  Actually, Purple 
Wizard were great, too, I love Bill singing "She's My Stalker" and those 2 
women formerly of Prissteens are great singers and guitar players.  DB5 
highlights - that song about the "man in the bar / who walks you to your 
car" (I think?)... in my case that would be Blair (and Jahna) who kindly 
ferried me to their Casa Del Rock in NJ at around 5 a.m. for a few hours of 
sleep.
    DMZ got the fans into a rabid frenzy of moshing, too bad that stupid 
vocal mike cut out for most of the last song, "Raw Power".  Real Kids and 
Lyres were both totally "ON".. and Lyres ended with one of my favorite 
songs, the Syn cover, "Grounded".   I danced and had a great time, got 
knocked down twice, once onto the (6") stage and bruised my butt, but it was 
worth it.
    For some reason the Ding Dong's website misled me, they were talking 
about red velvet and chandeliers and I was picturing a nicer place, like 
maybe a smaller version of the Village Underground.. how wrong I was, this 
place was a hole in the wall!  But it was a fun hole in the wall.  What did 
you think, Dinos?
