Galaxia at Firehouse, St. Louis
Memorably bad:
Superstars of Love at Abbey Pub, Chicago [not that they really should be considered a band]
Fun Club at Elbo Room, Chicago [not that they should be considered a band either]
Thanatos at Dome Room, Chicago [not their fault, but the sound guy should've been shot]
Thrill Kill Kult at 5th & B, San Diego [not that they should be considered anything but a joke at this point]
Kill Hannah in the cafeteria of St Louis University [also not their fault--there were 8 people there]
Alanis Morrisette at Kiel Center, St Louis [yeah I know, it's my fault for agreeing to go in the first place]
And just plain weird:
PM Dawn at a Wal-Mart turned into a country bar in St. Louis, with opening act Britney Spears, no joke.
