Koop at the El Rey August 15 - Page 2

Now that was a swanking - transported in the red velvet folds of the El Rey Theater to a space-age speakeasy. Tastes of swing, bossa nova, and contemporary sophistication still cling to my pallet. I love it when a well produced band can sound even better live.

Sultry, hot, sexy - and that was just the singer. What a great band to see live!

Heh - Zap beat me to it, but I think his pics are better than mine. But I did get a pic from "the ballad"

I don't know what's more amazing: zapppop getting his pictures up within an hour of the show .... or SuPeR K! zoning in to the whore train avatar within an hour of that.

zapppop: if that skirt were any higher, it would be her belt.

I was sort of feel sorry for ISM and all of the girlie exposure he was treated to.

zapppop: if that skirt were any higher, it would be her belt.
Lisa: At least she's got the legs to pull it off.
Zapppop: No, that's her boyfriend's job.

There are some great pictures of Helgavondingleberry.

I think what I dug most about experiencing Koop Live was that the music hearkens back to the 30's and 40's ... in my mind the last era when music was primarily experienced live.

From the dawn of human history to the 1920's, you had to be in the presence of musicians and singers to experience music. From the 20's through the 40's, more and more people experienced music via radio, but it was still live performances they were hearing.

Since then, I daresay the vast majority of human music experience is via recorded sound.

So it was supremely swell to dig the Koop sound and vibe LIVE ... it just seemed so right.

It was nice to have Magnus and Oscar up there on keyboards and laptop, but Hilga, the chanteuse, really made the night something special. I loved her. Classy and vampy.

Not Afraid: She was like a cross between Marilyn Monroe and Courtney Love.

That would be Hilde Louise Asbjørnsen

Ah, I thought he said "Hilda," but I over-norwegicized it as "Hilga" ... or perhaps that was over Bavarianizing it.

Anyway, it was odd he finally introduced her when she was off-stage.
