Limp Wrist at Madrid


Limp Wrist, the legendary queer hardcore punk band, played at the madrilean venue, Sala Boite (looks like a strip club without the poles). The opening act was the local punk band, Muletrain. I have seen them a couple of times (opening for The Adolescents, twice) and it was their best performance so far. They get me bored easily because their songs are too long, they sang in a very bad english and every song sounds the same.

Almost an hour later, Martín (former Los Crudos frontman), Paul, Andrew and Scott came on stage. Hot pants, vests and biker hats were part of their wardrobe. They played a lot of songs from their discography with a tremendous energy. Martín crowd-surfed and sang in the pit with the young spaniard "moshers". He dedicated the song "Ode" to Darby Crash (Germs), Gary Floyd (The Dicks) and other pioneer gay punks. The last song was their classic "I love Hardcore Boys, I love Boys Hardcore". Overall was a good show but kind of short. Anyhow was worth it, only for the main act.

Lexicon Devil: A Germs Documentary


Lexicon Devil: A Germs Documentary is the new documentary about the infamous late 70's punk/hardcore band from Los Angeles, California, The Germs, and it's singer/leader, Darby Crash. The film is scheduled to be released in 2009 and in the trailer we see never-before-seen footage of the Germs live performances. The documentary has all the usual suspects like Keith Morris, Mike Watt, Alice Bag, etc. Also has appearances by Fat Mike and Flea. After, the germs biopic (which was not so good) this seems like a good piece of work. Can't Wait.

Darby Crash Band

Este grupo de finales de 1980,surge por la disolución de The Germs a mediados de ese año,Darby Crash se une con Bosco (bajo) , Lucky Leher (batería de los Circle Jerks) y Pat Smear (guitar de los Germs).Darby regresa de un viaje al UK influenciado por Adam and the Ants,por esto la estética de mo-hawk y pintura de indio en la cara.Este grupo solo tocó algunos conciertos,porque Darby quería demostrarle a los nuevos hb's (los hc-punks de la epoca en Orange County)que era el verdadero punkrock.Al verse que era inútil,decide romper el grupo.Darby tocará un último concierto con The Germs ,una especie de reunión en Diciembre de 1980.Semanas más tarde,moriría por una sobredosis de China White (heroína o caballo),el día antes del ex-beatle John Lennon.Este pietaje que aparece a continuación es nunca antes visto porque se sabe muy poco de DCB y mucho menos documentación audiovisual.Disfruten.
