One of my all time favorite Houston bands is Sideshow Tramps. I first saw Sideshow play at St. Thomas in the fall at Shadwell's Wake, a pretend funeral for "the worst poet in history". There was a fake coffin that we carried around campus while Sideshow Tramps marched and played. Here's a video of Sideshow Tramps playing at Summerfest 2010. You can see Dena, Steven, and I dancing near the front.
On January 31, there was a fundraiser show at Mango's for Haiti and Sideshow Tramps was on the lineup. I told her we HAD to go. There were very few people at the event because it was a Sunday night. Sideshow Tramps started playing and we went CRAZY. We danced crazy up on the front row. During the song called Lady Vodka, the lead singer aka The Reverend, came out into the crowd to "kill" his lover. He picked Dena and pretended to slit her throat. There was a very drunk 50 year old lady who kept wanting to dance with me. Here's a video of Sideshow Tramps:
The live experience is one million times more exciting. And I have a major crush on like...all of them. And The Reverend and Geoffery are graduates from St. Thomas. Yay!
Okay dena...your turn! Wanna talk about some of our other favorites?
