The Gutter Twins played Bowery Ballroom

The Gutter Twins @ Bowery Ballroom, NYC – Feb 14, 2008 (Caryn Rose)
The Gutter Twins @ Bowery Ballroom

My odd thought about tonight was that this show was just – grown up. I haven’t seen the lyrics and haven’t lived with the songs enough, but this is not about Are you here to make par-tay or even the themes of loss and, well, loss that have hung over acres of Twilight Singers material. Don’t get me wrong, this is still a collaboration between Dulli and Lanegan and it’s not rainbows and puppies and roses, and it’s plenty fuckin dark. But it was just at another level, and maybe because Mark’s ass is also on that line, but I have never seen the band this whip-smart and sharp and just totally together, like Greg can put up one hand and conduct the band and they turn on a dime.
