Remember what day it is? The Kid Dynamite reunion show is happening now at CBGB in New York. If you want to check out them and openers Take My Chances, Voice In The Wire and Grey Area make sure you fire up that stream soon. You just might see a few `Org regulars slamming about in the pit.

I know this is kind of a dick comment, but there are too many damn openers. I'm sure they're good (I already like Take My Chances) but I'm not that interested in a band I can still see on a regular occassion. Still, I guss any show without openers would be strange. A paradox. -Dante 3+ Replies

i was actually at this, and i honestly have to say that i think greyarea stole the show. kd was good, but you could tell they haven't played together in a long time. for whoever said it was the best show ever, you obviously weren't at lifetime last night. i told ari then that it was the best show i've ever been to, and that still holds. i thought the crowd was a lot crazier last night, especially right at the end of ostrichsized. lifetime also was a lot tighter. tonight i thought greyarea put on a better show. they didn't sound like they were coming back from a long layoff, and with dan up front in the crowd and ernie getting really into it, i thought it was a lot more fun. i don't mean to take away from kid dynamite though, because they did play an awesome set. i guess i just felt a little let down because of how awesome last night was.

Someone (August 23, 2005)
I just got back from this show (I took a shower and had a drink, as well). It was pretty fantastic and really lived up to the hype. Given that I have never seen Strike Anywhere or None More Black before, and just how awesome of I show Kid Dynamite played tonight, I am thinking that we might want to fuck the original lineup of the Asskicking Stage and the initial rule I made about only having current active bands on the list. So, I'm considering talking to Kevin Lyman about having next year's stage have Kid Dynamite join stage certainties Bigwig, Propagandi, and Hilary Duff. Anyone else excited by the new song and by how much fun the band seemed to have together and how much love the crowd showed? Maybe they'll give it another whirl.... Sigh. 2+ Replies

-Take My Chances was really fucking good. They're basically Long Island's next Backup Plan. -The guy filling in for VITW's singer had an identical voice. There's no way you could tell the difference. -I'd never heard them before, so Gray Area was pretty impressive. Dr. Dan was in the crowd near the front for the first few songs. It was sorta weird looking to my right and having Dan Yemin just...standing there. -There was little-to-no sloppiness in KD's set. They were about 98% tight and that was well enough for me. And pretty much everyone else in the room. I think they could've thrown in a few more songs, but I probably would've died if that happened. 2+ Replies

Since it can be hard to tell; it seemed like most of times where it was "sloppy", like when Dan threw down his guitar, it was because it'd broken a number of strings, or that it was just getting tough to actually be able to play, due to people running across the stage - so, they just roll with it, and jump around with them, etc. - Little Guy 2+ Replies
