Black Moth Super Rainbow - 7/25/09 - Johnny Brenda's

A crazy fun good time was had by all last Friday night in the bowels of Philly, PA. as Pennsy bred band Black Moth Super Rainbow took to the stage at Johnny Brenda's with their unique blend of psych poptronica. Fronted by a hype man dressed as Gorilla Judge Ito and backed by a video montage hodgepodge featuring nutty murderous hipsters and unicorn starshine, the sold out show was a nice respite from the norm. cookie cutter affairs bands of their size normally throw at this stage in their careers. Glowsticks were thrown about, copious amounts of herb was smoked while Boots and I took in the show both onstage and off. By the end of the event, there was no difference between the two as some of the crowd clamored onstage for their "look at me Ma" moment to shake their white-girl asses to music they more than likely didn't really comprehend.

With a nod to the Flaming Lips, this band really knows how to throw a proper hootenanny.

I give this show a resounding 4 hits of white blotter acid up!
