WEDNESDAY - JUNE 6TH - THE BEACH HOUSE - CHICAGO
with: a bunch of miscellaneous junk
BLOODYMINDED plays INTRINSIC ACTION
This show was put together in celebration of 6-6-06. I had never been to the Beach House (which I thought was a bar but turned out to be a house in Humboldt Park) before and missed the Intrinsic Action show in October, so I thought I'd check this out. I noticed on my 6 mile bike ride to the place (I googled it) that many people were outside partying, and blowing things up. Not an average Wednesday night, for sure. I couldn't find the exact house but was eventually pointed in the right direction by some people hanging out on a porch and another guy who asked if I was working. I got to the entrance and was really not interested in seeing anyone else on the bill, so I was an asshole and pretended to only have $2.00 instead of the requested $7.00. I really don't know where that number comes from but there have been a few other lackluster Chicago shows I have wanted to check out maybe one act of 3 but am hindered by that high number, but those are mostly at stiff sit down electronic snore events, so I don't think I'm missing much. Anyway...the house was pretty fun, and full of people. There was a pool of red liquid/fake blood that people were wrestling in and cheap drinks available. BLOODYMINDED was setting up in the basement. Ed was wearing a little leather tanktop and they had different synths. I was wondering how this was going to go over. I am not too familiar with Intrinsic Action, but had seen an...entertaining video of one of their performances from 1993. I could see the setlist on the table full of 'the hits.' They started it off and immediately I could sense, though the demeanor and aura of the band was the same, the blasts of their equiptment was totally different in a very captivating way. I thought it sounded awesome. The beginning of "Feel the Bite" I thought I could hear the beginning of "Who are You?" by the Who but that was retarded wishful thinking and spacing out on my part. There was an awful heckler that interrupted during "Shock Pit", I think he called BLOODYMINDED "bullshit" and told them to shut up and he ended up in a tussle with Mark. The funny thing being he was about one third his size, also a shaved head. Ferocious and drunk. He left but came back during "Proto-Male" and - my absolute favorite moment- Mark got him in a headlock and seemed kind of unsure what to do next, and cracked a mic on his skull. The guy had to be pulled out of the room by a handful of people, after a harsh kick to the balls. Awesome show. They ended the set with "Groupies" and as it ended Mark walked "backstage" and it all seemed hilarious to me. I think BLOODYMINDED did an effective job as playing as Intrinsic Action and hope they do it again, you should all check it out if you have the chance.
