Hello, and good evening...and welcome to... DRUMS OF DAAAARRRKNESSSSSS!
This past Saturday, TP returned to Hollywood's own gothic club, Bar Sinister, for the third time! While some of the more veteran members were already accustomed to the scene from previous performances, I was giddy with anticipation and just a touch of apprehension as to what the audience was like.
It was my first time at a goth bar, so Jason, Tomomi, and I decided to head to Hot Topic for some appropriate attire. What we found was something like Def Leppard mixed with Judas Priest. I think it worked nicely. Everyone had similar ideas: basically anything black (minus Jason's pants).
Here's a close-up of the girls. Fierce!
After we got all made-up (thanks to Yuri's excellent make-up skills!), we headed out to the stage.
The crowd was dressed mainly in black, although there was a giant pink bunny sighting. Several attendees had mohawks which complimented the spikes very nicely.
We were greeted very warmly with a rich "YEAAAHHH!" and throughout the set the crowd was extremely mobile, expressive, and generally seemed to enjoy themselves. At one point, several of us were worried that the bunny was going to climb the fence on to the stage during Jason's fundoshi-odaiko solo.
After our encore performance we went back stage, got changed, and went to the dance floor where we got DOWN!
As dawn was approaching, we were told we could finally load-out around 2am. Not wanting the night to be over, we decided to head to BCD's for some 3am korean food. It was spiiiicy!
Finally, it was time to call it a night/morning, so we concluded back at Higashi, enthused from a great performance, legs tired from dancing to Rob Zombie, and eyes dried out from eyeliner.
What a fun night!
