madrid theater - 07 oct, 2005

w/ the violent femmes

 

in tim finn's 2005 retrospective in the kansas city star, he lists the violent femmes at the madrid as one of the best live shows of the year. (in the same article, he lists alacartoona at bulldog as one of the best local shows.) alacartoona could not agree more.

the evening started with the pitch throwing a 25th anniversary party in the balcony. alacartoona was invited to entertain the guests as they celebrated the accomplishments of kansas city's "other" newspaper.

but the real party started thereafter. the theater doors were opened, the public streamed in and alacartoona took the main stage without mercy. she showed the crowd the true meaning of cabaret and by the time she was done with her short set, hundreds of newly deflowered virgins cheered - nay, begged - for more.

besides the aforementioned timothy finn, a host of beautiful people were on hand for the spectacle. alacartoona's delicious lover lazlo shed a tear for the things that could never be, while fellow 96.5 the buzz dj afentra comforted him. long time alacartoona aficionados kelly morse and sandy "sandelicious" dziedzic danced in ecstacy while the radiantly beautiful tiffany hankel observed the scene in a cool, detached splendor. and finally, steve tulipana of the the recordbar was present in all of his honey-baked deliciousness.
