The Spin The Spin: Diorama-rama
Posted by The Spin on Mon, Aug 4, 2008 at 9:08 AM
The sun was still out when we showed up at Wolfcastle for the 2nd annual Diorama-rama, and yet we had missed the festivities of field day, for shame. The thought that maybe things got started a little early has come to mind, being that about two hours were spent hanging around getting sloshed before people really started showing up. Not a bad thing. Log fighting will become the next big American sport. It will be bigger than NASCAR—blasphemy, I know. So Many Dynamos either cancelled or didn't show up, leading us to believe that they had heard a little more than they'd like to know about Murfreesboro. Chickens.
'Round about 9 p.m. Missouri's Target Market took the floor. Considering they were playing a one-off date they had a seriously short set of really good Dismemberment Plan-esque indie-pop. Meemaw was up next and they freaking tore it down. This is how house shows are supposed to be: sweaty dancing, beer-slinging, streamer-rippin' unadulterated fun. They ended it with a rad version of The Stooges' “TV Eye.”
Oh yeah, they had dioramas too. The theme this year was puberty and that led to a wealth of strange and hilarious ideas. “Dreamcatcher” was basically just a sock glued up—yeah, you know what that's about. Best in Show went to “My First Menstruation,” which was WOW. It was basically a plastic wrap mannequin with a fountain hooked up to give the illusion of a heavy flow kinda day, and an audio loop of a hysterical girl who sounded as though she was birthing an alien.

I'm not sure So Many Dynamos even knew anything about this show. That's some friend of a friend info I got.
So Many Dynamos had this show on their books for months and then pulled out last week because a band member had to work.
THANKS STEVE! and thanks for coming!
SMD couldn't play because one of them had to work on the 2nd, and they did the 30th instead, then going to Athens GA and unfortunately couldn't come back thru in time to play the RAMA as they had planned months earlier. It was still fun though.
