DJ Dog Dick and Sewn Leather

tonite i did something very different. i went out. AND had a good time. i forfeited a night of Dollhouse with friends to see Sewn Leather- this one man band I had heard on KRUI. i heard this song called "shadows" and i called up the station to find out who this was- and it turned out this band/dude, Sewn Leather, was playing at a house party. yeah- i never go to house parties either cuz i'm mostly old enough to be everyone's dad at those things. and i don't drink or get wacky with the tobacky- so i can easily feel like the odd man out. but i was so smart to follow that instinct that begged me to break out of my norm. I also got to hear a couple of cool opening solo gigs and DJ Dog Dick as well- who happens to be from Baltimore- a personal note of irony considering I had seriously considered moving there.

anyway, the show was awesome. i had a great time just letting go and getting into the music and sound vibrations. DJ Dog Dick is what I would term experimental electronic/a. and Sewn Leather has very strong goth industrial edges all around it and in it. Sewn Leather really hit what i needed. i walked home repeatiing outloud to no one in particular, "that was the shit!"

so i'll provide a couple of clips here from youtube, although live is always better in these situations. i think it healed my soul.
