The Virgins: Invoking Mick Jagger's Butt Wagging
It could have been Jonathan Richman or Joe Strummer prancing at the edge of the 7th Street Entry stage. And the band could have been the New York Dolls or any gang of musically inclined kids crawling out of the 1970's New York City gutters. But it wasn't, of course. It was The Virgins-- the latest band to rocket out of the Big Apple with eyes fixated on record sales and calloused hands thumbing through the rock ‘n' roll history books.

"This groove is out of fashion," David Byrne sang during his first song Tuesday night at the State Theatre. Then he spent the next two hours disproving it.

High Places
There's a certain tension in the Triple Rock. We're all sucking on secret mouthfuls of electricity, our synapses sputtering and sparking as we attempt to reckon with this music. It is a constant interplay of dissonance and beauty pulling at us and prickling our skin.

The flesh suit guy is onstage and he's dancing like an invertebrate. Decked out in a cream-colored unitard and thick, black shades, he is the embodiment of this strange scene.

There is a creepy old man trying to dance on me.
