Music Review: AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFRENT...........
Rating: 5 Stars
When Bikini Kill announced a female only gig in Berlin, I felt this would be as good a time as any to dress as a woman and attempt to bluff my way into a concert. My friends were only too willing to help out with clothing a wig and make up. At first I was far from convincing. At best I looked like a masculine teenage girl, at worst an ugly transsexual in urgent need of an operation.
Although as a perceived sexually challenged person I might gain access to the gig, I desired to fool the club and not be let in for sympathetic reasons. Two days out from the gig and I agreed to my roommates suggestion to wax my eye brows use foundation and eyeliner. I had a quality raven shoulder length wig from an old girlfriend and suddenly I was getting somewhere. I used a few tissues in a push up bra (no wonder women love these things) to become more shapely. With my bomber jacket open and leather pants I was morphing into a biker chick. Instead of gravitating to fire engine red lipstick I choose a subtler pink for my lips, with some gloss over that for added effect. Their was only one way to hide my chunky hands and that was to wear Audrey Hepburn style gloves, they were a size too small but worked a treat.
None of my female friends were interested in seeing the gig so I would have to purchase the ticket myself. This undoubtedly would be the most critical part of the operation.
On the night of the gig I had several drinks before catching a cab to the gig and then marching as confidently as possible into the entrance of the venue. The support band was noisily bashing away in the background which meant I only had to raise one finger to indicate I was paying for myself only. Damn I made it!!!
As far as I could tell their wasn't a male in the place. I did wonder if some other guy had infiltrated this this forbidden zone making the gig into a monty python skit.
The girl behind the bar looked totally bored and tired, so purchasing beer was no problem. I could have worn a third breast and she may not have noticed. I could feel some girls checking me out, so I was careful not to make eye contact or look too inviting.
I saw half of Bikini Kill's set before another problem reared it's head. I need to pee and was not going to use the female bathroom.
The male bathroom was a trip. Spotlessly clean with a rose scent in the air, not a drop of urine in the urinal at 1;00am Sunday morning!!! On leaving the bathroom several female bouncers escorted me to the exist and with stone cold faces pushed me out the door. Bikini Kill were ok, they preached to the converted, but the girls had fun, and so did I.
Description of Reject All American
With three years since their last album, Pussy Whipped, and only a few 7-inch singles in the meantime, Bikini Kill had loads of time to become a band that stands on its own merits. Reject All American, their 1996 sophomore release, reveals a refined punk band with increased clarity, verified competence, and expanded range. While the band's heart still lies in the sneering brat punk of the Sex Pistols or X-Ray Spex--heard here on thrilling two-minute slices of attitude like "Capri Pants" and "Statement of Vindication"--the band also gives a go at airy alt rock (bassist Kathi Wilcox's jangly "False Start"), classic new wave pop (the title track's Go-Go's chorus), and even drops a trumpet and xylophone into the mix. Still, it's Kathleen Hanna's words and vocals that have matured most and remain the band's primary strength. It's enough to make you proud: Just look at how our little grrrl has grown. --Roni Sarig
