Seether, Gramercy Theatre NYC, 5/24/2011

Seether has consistently been one of my favorite live rock bands. They speak very little and keep it all about the music, which I prefer in concert because it keeps the energy continuously flowing.  This small, yet powerful, band hailing from South Africa rocked the night away by opening with "Gasoline" (which I love blasting in the car), covering Nirvana's "Heart-Shaped Box" (though I prefer their cover of "Careless Whisper"), and closing the night off with "Remedy" as their encore.

(bassist Dale Stewart & I)

(I'm rocking a Limited blazer, on sale $20; Vintage bowtie; Ozzy T-shirt from Loehmann's, $9.99; Hurley shorts from Century 21 $14.99; Spiked Murano Glass ring, gift from friend; brogues you can't see from Goodwill Men's section, $3.99)

Ugly Black Betty

(I'm rocking an ancient hand knit sweater from Express (back when they used to make great quality shit), sheer black top from The Limited, black sequin bra from H&M, Diesel black twill pants, and HUGE wedges from Forever 21, prescription Derek Cardigan glasses)

I LOVE Ram Jam's "Black Betty"...it immediately makes me think of that super badass scene in the movie Blow where Johnny Depp is walking down that airport hallway ...and anything that makes me think of Johnny Depp is cool with me.
