Soft Spoken Change Is Nothing; A View So Cruel<\/cite><\/p>\n

Rather last minute I decided to head out to the Royal Oak Music Theater<\/a> to see Skinny Puppy<\/a> perform. Despite Ogre<\/a> having a 103\u00b0F (39.4\u00b0C) fever thus cutting the encore a bit short, and the backing video and costumes lacking the religious and political imagery which marked previous shows, I’m glad I went. Unlike years past I also brought earplugs, which were wonderful as I could hear properly both during and after the show.<\/p>\n

As expected, the show was almost like a small reunion of Detroit-area industrial folks. While (obviously) not inclusive, I saw a good number of people whom I hadn’t seen for a few years and managed to say hello to most of them. I also ran into a coworker there, which wasn’t wholly unexpected as I’d previously seen him at an Apoptygma Berzerk<\/a> show, and known his like for VNV Nation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Due to life being fairly busy recently I made a last minute decision to go to the show, but it worked out well. As I was about to purchase my ticket someone was asking the queue if anyone needed a ticket, as he had a spare. While he was asking $15, I only had $20 bills, but I gladly handed one over in exchange for the ticket, as the result was still $10 less than door price, and no one in the process technically being shortchanged.<\/p>\n

Here’s one more image<\/a>, taken just after the show illustrating most of the stage setup, including the blood sprayed acrylic and metal box where Ogre spent much of the show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
