Loto Ball Show

Loto Ball Show played Knitting Factory with Silver Apples last night (June 24, 2008).

Loto Ball Show reminded me of Fugazi if you fed them a boat loat of crack cocaine. I was very surprised that they were the band preceding Silver Apples set - it was a bit of an odd pairing but somehow worked well together. -Zach
Tonight (June 25), Loto Ball Show play another NYC show - this time at Cake Shop with Indian Jewelry (one of their 3 NYC shows). Silver Apples (who Loto Ball show is on tour with) isn't playing, but Simeon Coxe is DJing the show that also has Pocahaunted and a couple of other bands on the bill. The flyer and more pics from last night below....

How can you tell from those pictures how empty the show was?

i was there. it was surprisingly less crowded than expected. half capacity for loto ball, more trickled in for silver apples.

great show nonetheless. minus effi briest. they are like lifeless, animatronic, unoriginal psych playin' stepford wives. except i kinda liked the drummer.

i didn't know loto ball coming in, but they were fun. fire and brimstone death metal carnival music.

silver apples were so great.

saw Silver Apples last summer - totally amazing. even without the drummer, the songs from the first two albums sounded amazing.

Loto ball show was the worst band I have ever seen live in my entire life. This is coming from someone who goes to 3-4 shows a week and has sat through a World/Inferno show.

Actually Loto Ball Show sort of reminded me of if Teenage Jesus and the Jerks were performing on Broadway. I liked them.
