"Beth Ditto started singing from somewhere in the ether, and when she finally set foot on stage, the crowd went berserk...but quickly reigned themselves in so as not to miss a single second of Bethtastic vocal goodness. The band's universally loved frontwoman sported a new shorter 'do in Kool-Aid red or Sunkist orange (depending on the lighting), She wore form-fitting black, knee-length dress covered in silvery glitter sparkles that shimmered as she shimmied around the stage to the beat, giving the impression that Beth Ditto is not the centre of the universe, but the universe itself...and we mere mortals are all just playing at her game." [I Was at the Show]Apache Beat and MEN (JD Samson of Le Tigre) opened the show. More pictures and a video below...
Gossip perform "Standing in the Way of Control"

By Beth Ditto actually "being the universe" - is that like that yo mamma joke about her sitting AROUND the house? Good lord, she looks like Devine - on top of sucking so unbelievably bad. What happened to them?
