No hype, The Bubonic Plague has to be one of the most interesting and creative bands in this fine city. Last night, the band followed the old adage "the show must go on," by playing M/R/X despite the fact that singer Geneva was otherwise engaged in another town with another band. To make up for this, the band offered a truly spectral image of Geneva. She performed via a perfectly synced video played against the scrim. Geneva even appeared during the downtime between songs, pacing back and forth as though she was getting irritated with everything.

You must go out and see The Bubonic Plague as soon as you have the chance. If you don't believe me, ask around. I can ensure you that Carlos, Robert and everyone else there will say the same thing.

Also, you must check out M/R/X as well. DJ/Promoter Job Leatherette is an old club buddy of mine, dating back to our late-teenage years at Helter Skelter. I will personally attest to the flawlessness of his taste in music. After all, I wouldn't hang out with DJs that play crap. Job has been doing M/R/X off and on for a few years now. Back when he was doing it at The Parlour (RIP), I would go almost every week so that I could dance to stuff like Fad Gadget, Virgin Prunes, Le Car, Adult. and new stuff from Germany that even I hadn't heard yet. Flawless.

Go to M/R/X. You won't regret it.
