[bomp] Lady Kensington Is My Heroine!
Hey,how did I miss these guys for so long? Actually I DO go way back to Chris' legendary garage goddesses,The Brood. Chris Horne is fookin' amazing. She's got a KILLER bod and killer style to show it all off-black mini, a black and white psyche tunic, white fishnets stocking, black leather knee high boots, rectangular,Roger McQuinn style shades. Chris was cool,justdancin' madly to the Crybabies in the corner by herself. I hadda get her out on the dance floor with me and she's like a one woman Berlitz of 60's dances-the frug,the jerk,the pony,the monkey,the bat-usi,you name it! HORNE is my heroine!! Back tracking a bit, The Come Arounds brought all their buddies from the fruit stripe rugby team(ok,I'm alluding to the striped shirts and the repeated high fives!)People were saying they sounded like the Monkees, but they were more like The Seekers. People seemed to dig their innocence. I enjoyed their cover of the Grass Roots' "Wait A Million Years",but in general I'd like to see them develop a degree of melancholy to temper their unabashed "up with people" vibe. I think if they did a cover of We Five's "You Were On My Mind" or a song with that sort of feel,it'd give them more depth,interest,mystique. As for The Crybabies,sadly last night was their next to the last gig. They played a powerful,passionate set of rock 'n' roll from the opening of "Other Half"(check their myspace)to "Last Plane Home" to Dylan's "If You Gotta Go Go Now,Else You Gotta Stay All Night".( I would have loved to have danced through their whole set,but I just had oral surgery Friday. )I was flattered that Miss Horne asked me to introduce the band. Lady Kensington and The Beat Lords are a stripped down,soupped up garage rock force of nature. Chris looks perfectly,moves perfectly,plays perfectly...she personifies cool 60's psyche/punk. People danced intermittenly,but mostly people sat transfixed-honestly none of us had seen a human being as cool as Chris. NEON NITE must have Lady Kensington and The Beatlords back as soon as poss!
