A Saturday To Remember


I got the call from our friends in Piercing Silence on Saturday afternoon to come out that night to the Zebra Lounge in Copiague for an awesome show that they were part of. I couldn't let the opportunity pass, and made my way out east for the night.

It was a night full of rock. You had Abigail Roots, Piercing Silence, Undetermined, Atomic Fury, and Erocktica in the lineup. It was a pretty decent crowd, many different ages in there. The bar was pretty big, they had two tenders on it the whole night. I didn't see anything about drink specials, but there were shot girls there introducing a new tequila, Lunazul. Everybody was having a good time, enjoying drinks and the live music. The Zebra Lounge has live music every Friday and Saturday, and is always a 21+ establishment.

The set up for the bands was pretty simple. The stage was pretty deep, plenty of room for the musicians to move around. The sound system was ok, it seemed as though all the amps were plugged into two main monitors, and all the levels were controlled out of them. There were some slip ups when it came to the audio quality, but nothing major enough to really stand out.

It was the music that was the best. Piercing Silence played a few new songs as well as older ones. The progression of their music is moving and powerful. They have yet to find a lead singer, but in my opinion they don't need one. The way their songs unfold allows the listener to dwell in emotions. Very talented musicians, check them out.

The headlining band was Erocktica. I had heard about them, about how their live shows can get very wild. This was very true. The pictures that I posted up from the show are only half of them. The other half is meant for mature audiences ONLY. The show they put on can be compared to a Kiss concert. It is interactive, meant to be an eye opener, full of props and meant to rile up the audience. They had one dancer at this show, but they have 9 in total. They were so much fun, and if you have an open mind about sex, definitely check them out.

May 15th, Mondo Porno at Arlene's Grocery (95 Stanton NYC). Erocktica's DVD release party, you want to be there. Come in a devil or angle costume for five dollars off cover price, making it $10. BE THERE!
