DENIZ TEK AND THE GOLDEN BREED
NEW TOWN ANIMALS
WITNESS PROTECTION PROGRAM
Saturday, January 5
Picadilly Pub

I think Steve Godoy lives somewhere in California. I’m pretty sure Art Godoy lives in Vancouver. Deniz Tek lives in Billings, Montana. So for a band that only practices a few times a year, it sounded great, but fuck was I hot. I hate wearing coats. If you get hot, you have to take it off and carry it, and where does a coat fit into the dance routine? There are no coats in rock and roll. It was a little cold out, though, so instead, I wore three shirts. So I was hot. I guess I could’ve taken one of my shirts off and given it to Steve. He seemed to have lost his. I thought he was going to explode. He held his breath, flexed his neck, and cracked the ride until he was ready to blow up. Steve and Art sang a few Exploding Fuck Dolls songs along with Tek’s Birdman classics and Golden Breed originals. Mr. Tek, in case you didn’t know, can play a fine guitar solo.

The New Town Animals are five boys with elastic faces whose songs are faster than a 15-year-old’s beat-off session. I wish I could’ve seen Witness Protection Program’s set. Some guy told me it was awesome.
