Wound up stumbling across this awesome playlist of packed 80s dance clubs. And just wow. Some of them take a few watches just to try to catch everything going on. Seems like a lot of the places were New Wave-centric, because the crowd seems more goth/punk than one would expect. A lot of gangly guys in eyeliner and oversized jackets doing lopsided Napoleon Dynamite dances, a lot of regrettable hairstyles, but also some really amazing style… and some seriously hawt mohawk action going on.
This past weekend saw D4C/Destroyed For Comfort’s first performance of 2014, my second in Portland. The show took place at industrial art warehouse Watershed PDX, and was for promotion of my appearance on the winter compilation from Sadomascus Records.
Seen here.
Originally, my cover of “Clothes Hoist” by Foetus was to appear, but at the last minute it was changed to “No Wife No Horse No Mustache” from Chevalier D’Eon because of licensing issues. I was also stoked cause I got to bring this outfit out of storage:
Which I then accentuated with with a wig and additional accoutrements:
While there, met up with my friend Jani, who was kind enough to have snapped pretty much all the photos/video for this show:
I was actually kind of nervous while performing, but despite missing few vocal cues because of a lack of monitors I think the show as a whole holds up as one of my best. The visuals were amazing, tho I wish there were more pics of my Chad writhing around on the floor with a pig mask on. All in all I’m really excited for what the rest of this year holds in store.
