This show was the second of two back-to-back killer shows by Third Grade Teacher. Both had all the elements that make 3GT one of the most entertaining bands on the LA club scene - excellent songs with plenty of stylistic variation to keep things interesting, tight performance by the band, and Sabrina at her histrionic best. The amount of energy she put into these two shows would light a medium sized city for a week, and certainly lit a fire in the audience both nights. To add more fuel to the fire, the club was packed both nights. They introduced new songs (a fast hard-edged one on Friday, a ballad on Saturday). They played some of their old classics like Schoolboy and Ow Ow Ow, and some of their newer classics like Fantastic Pantsuit. They played requests (Dusty O'Merriweather). Same response to all of it basically both nights - an extremely appreciative and enthusiastic crowd. By the time they finished Tongues, the audiences convulsed into giant orgasms of applause and then either went outside for a smoke or came up week-kneed to fawn over the band afterward. They were so good, if there were statues in the room, they would have been bopping along during the show and applauding at the end. If you weren't there, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? Enjoy the pix -
