Rock Gods #183: Adventures in Our Little Music Scene

There’s nothing like seeing an arrogant fathead fall on his ass onstage. The only thing better is seeing him do it twice.
We’d never seen Angelo and the Temp Kings before now, but the asshole’s rep precedes him: How he gained control of the band through subterfuge, how he dumped two girlfriends after getting them pregnant, how he wears T-shirts with gay slurs on them, how he makes lewd gestures at women during Temp Kings sets.
Angelo spent his shaky time onstage at Hamilton’s last week bitching about the sound system, the lighting, the too-good-for-his-ego opening band…
Then he slipped. On ice, we suspect, which he’d spilled from his own drink. Tried to turn it into a joke, but a minute later he tripped. Actually fell down the stageside step. Lay there, seething and waiting for assistance, as if we should care if he was all right.

Bro/sis duo Claudio & Isabella are at the Bullfinch with Disguised Monk. They’ve just been freed from one of those mock-jail fundraisers… The Pompeys at Hamilton’s… D’ollaire’s is dark; they’d been holding the night for a major act which is hitting clubs with a comeback attempt, but it didn’t happen…
