As much as I love this CD, there's just nothing that compares to a New
Bomb Turks show. Lead singer Eric Davidson works a crowd as expertly
as a good-guy perverted Las Vegas lounge singer, pointing out people
in the audience that he'd like to have a drink with afterwards as well
as people that are just too ridiculous for words (the last show I saw
of them, my boyfriend's dopey roommate had just dyed his hair pink and
had fashioned the strands to look like little devil horns. Needless to
say, he was singled out for ridicule).
The rest of their show consists of the band stripping, inviting other
people to come up on stage to get naked, and Eric deep-throating the
microphone. The music itself is just plain old-fashioned
high-adrenaline punk rock for the most part with the occasional
saxophone and accordion. But man, when these guys are live, they're a
fucking event.
