One Eyed Doll played at this little bar called The Dive over the weekend. Personally I was expecting some shitty sound only because of how the bar was laid out but much to my surprise and happiness this was not the case. Unlike some of the bands who played before, the OED had the perfect sound and high energy to back up their performance. Although it is only a two pieced band, you could swear that there are more people playing. There set has changed over the years, now including lights which looked cool from a video point of view but this only adds to their performance rather then detracts.

Some of the songs they played were classic like Committed, and Nudie Bar. These are great songs but I was expecting to hear a little bit more from the Witches album. They only played one song, Black in the Rye. The new album is so fantastic that more should have been added to their play list. I do understand that they only played for 50 minutes, which by the way shame on that bar, but if you are trying to promote people to buy the new cd more should be played from it. Some of the songs that were played however are classic that people would be looking for. I am sure that things would have been different if they had a full set. One day this will happen.

That is the only real complaint that comes from this show. Honestly Freeman was putting on a great show with her onstage antics, and like many people before her, Manson and Skinny Puppy, the niche adds to their show and gives them a one up to many of the bands that are out there now. In fact it is nice to have a laugh in between songs. Junior sounded great on the drums, I'm sorry I can't add to my comment but sound because I just couldn't see him. Aside from Kimberly entertain the audience with her in between song routines, she was playing the guitar everywhere. At a few points in the night she was on the floor with the crowd playing. This to I couldn't see all of because I was to short but what I could see looked very intense.

Overall it was a great show. It saddens my soul that a band of this talent is playing in a tiny bar. They have more talent then the DJs that are plastered all over Vegas. The DJs sell out huge rooms playing on a lap top but hard working musicians that actually write their music, produce it and spend that much time on a show only play in a bar. There is something wrong and fucked up in our society, But one day they will have their Almost Famous moments and playing the guitar in the middle of the floor will be a thing of the past.

Just a side note; I can't believe the ass hole band before they played through cake. I was mortified at the situation that happened and I couldn't imagine how they felt. I hope the bar doesn't look negatively on OED because it was not their fault. And that shitty band took away from their time on stage. The lead singer was bitching that he only had 25 minutes, well buddy welcome to the industry what do you think they play at Mayhem and Warped Tour? A small band like you gets less then that suck it up you are not on tour, the headlining band gets the most time. Its fucking life.
