Third Grade Teacher's triumphant CD release party was a musical extravanza featuring a couple of never-before-played-live songs from the new CD, 3. As you can see, they closed out the Olympics by winning the Gold (Sabrina) and the Silver (Laura) medals, which they converted into sexy dress form for their medal ceremony. They played the national anthem of the Third Grade Nation (Schoolboy, of course) to a rowdy, enthusiastic crowd. They got the bronze, too, but Dave decided to eschew his slinky bronze dress for more traditional schoolboy fare. For Tongues, the teacher flooded the stage with a barrage of talented guest artists, including members of two of the other three bands that played the show with them. Unfortunately, Spaceland was pretty crowded at that point, so I couldn't squeeze out of the corner to get over to where I could have gotten better shots of most of them. For only the third time since I've been seeing 3GT, they closed with a song other than Tongues, instead going with the dreamy There is a Place from the new CD. I felt a guilty twinge during that song when Sabrina changed one of the lyrics. On the CD she had scatted the phrase "skippy skip-skop", and I teased her about it at an earlier show. When she sang past where it should have been, I was kinda bummed. I'm sorry I teased you Sabrina. Bring back skippy skip-skop. :-) Enjoy the pix -
