Dirty Dudes
Nothing says Krude more than a rock gig at a cool bar
with a great musical band.
The Bowery Electric in NYC is a cool bar which books
awesome rock shows all the time. I get email updates of their concert schedule
every week. So when an email was sent to me the week of June 10,2018 from
Bowery Electric,I naturally read it. As it was,their entertainment for the
night of 6/17/18 (Father's Day) was a band that calls itself GayC/DC. So
with some Krude internet due diligence,I got the inside skinny on what a
GayC/DC was.
GayC/DC is an AC/DC tribute band with a twist. 4 gay
men and 1 straight guy is the bands' makeup. They dress in a flamboyant drag
queen way. They play a mix of AC/DC songs with song lyrics altered to reflect
gay themes. All this is performed by talented musicians who can play the shit
out of any AC/DC tune ever made.
Apparently,this was the first gig for them outside of
California. GayC/DC opened their set with Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.Keeping
with their manly themes,they changed the lyrics to 'Dirty Dudes Done
Dirt Cheap'. Other classics played were Shoot to Thrill,Touch Too Much,Bad Boy
Boogie,Thunderstruck etc... GayC/DC altered some key song lyrics and brought
the rock Hard. Their Angus Young inspiried guitarist was soloing all over the
bar. The singer chugged a third of a Southern
Comfort fifth bottle in one gulp The bassist suctioned a large dildo to
his bass. And confetti (Rip Taylor style) flew throughout the set. This was an over
the top party with a cool soundtrack. In the key of A. For $10. Yes!
Awesome show!
Listening to an old AC/DC gig from the late 70s while
writing this blog. Hearing the mighty Bon Scott and a very energetic band
behind him made me think that Bon was somehow overseeing the entire GayC/DC gig
I saw. These guys are the real deal. Rocking,entertaining,and dare I say it:
ballsy. If AC/DC is done performing as a band,GayC/DC is more than worthy to fill
that rock n' roll vacancy.
Let
There
Be
Rock
...with feather boas
Krude approved
And I'm sure Bon approved
Cheers!
