Went to the show at Bowery last night & I thought that they definitely kicked ass.  They played a really intense hour & fifteen playing 17 songs, 7 from Freakonica, 6 from House, 3 from Venus, & 1 from Cruise Yourself (see bottom for set list) I was up front in the middle & it didn't seem like the majority of the crowd was that into it.  I guess a lot of them had either never heard Freakonica or just never heard of GVSB period.  Either way, the highlights for me (even though everything was really strong) included Disco 666, In Like Flynn (probably my favorite GVSB song), Learned It, Super-Fire & Roxy (a song I'll never listen to the same way again after hearing it live).  Some guy kept yelling for My Martini & Eli & Scott kind of laughed.  Then someone yelled Kill The Sexplayer & they played it.  I liked this concert a lot more than CBGBs in March because it definitely makes the experience better when you already know the music before going in.  (That's how I am anyway.)  Can't wait to see them again in August!
