Just as we begin to lose ourselves in the hypnotic drone, another figure emerges from the side of the stage; black-clad and hooded he walks swiftly to his amp, flips a switch, removes his guitar from the
stand, slings it over his shoulder, and walks center stage.
The two men exchange a glance, and with that, the singer spits out his cigarette and kicks on a foot switch, drowning himself in white light as he stares down the microphone and begins to attack the guitar like his life depended on it.
What could either be hours or minutes later, the kraut-rock intro turns to verse and the crowd begins to sing along "Sick of trying to find a way inside, sick and tired of all the
after." And just about this time a peculiar thing starts to happen, almost viral as it begins to take over the onlookers one by one. People begin to move, these movements take shape, and soon, people are dancing. In fact, the whole crowd is
dancing.
And suddenly we are saved. Saved from the legions of samey-sameson throwback bands, saved from another night of being too hip to dance, and saved from our selves.
She Wants Revenge has come to save us all.
