The BGN News Archive

So the BGN took a little outing Saturday night and went to the Big Dipper Reunion at The Middle East down...gee the place did not reek of total bathroom smell, so that was good, they still need to work on their air conditioning though
...but Big Dipper was awesome to say the least. The place was packed and the fans were rabid. Big Dipper's is/was one of those sort of art rock bands but with a sense of humor too which is important. I kept hearing a mix of brit 80's bands musically but American sensibility in the lyrics. These guys still have it and they sounded well-practiced and really together!
The crowd went nuts at the end when they called for Fertile Virgins to make up their "chorus" on stage, every one jumped on the stage, not a virgin among them I am sure but it went well and got the crowd going even crazier. They did TWO encores too, because people wanted it...that's something I have not seen in a while. They did an hour and a half set and every song was great!
Thursday, May 1st at The Plough and Stars, Reid Paley is doing a solo show, this should be an awesome show my friends, head on over....
