Mindless Self Indulgence, Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel, Providence R.I., 12-5-08

What can I say about this show? Well, not much. It was classic MSI, but with a way more predictable and unexcitable bedside manner.
Lyn-Z is pregnant and didn’t play. Bummer #1.

The setlist was EXACTLY the same as the Hartford show we went to in July. Bummer #2.

The show had no encore and was a mere 60 minutes long, if that. Bummer #…well, you get it.

I won’t rag on MSI too much, as I do think they’re one of few truly individualistic and experimental bands out there today. But that said, out of the 3 shows I’ve been to, they simply weren’t on their A-game this time ’round. And they never play “Clarissa,” which saddens me every time.

Here are some vids of the highlights:

*EDIT*

Chicken Man commented, asking if I had any pictures of him on stage with the band (he and someone else dressed up as a Hot Dog ended up on stage during “Faggot”).  I don’t have any pictures, but I have this short, short 10 second clip of you guys rockin’ out up there. I didn’t upload it before because the clip was too short to hear any part of the song, but here it is!:
