Bonde do Role

After reading blogger after blogger carry on and on about how amazing Bonde do Role are live, I have to say I was a little disappointed in their show Monday at Harper’s Ferry in Allston. Sure, they played basically their entire catalog (except, annoyingly, “Geremia,” which is my favorite song of theirs.) And everybody seemed to be having a good time (except the guy with the backpack whose job it was to escort dancers off the stage when they got too rowdy.) And the audience was full of just as many terrible trendy Hamburglar-inspired outfits as I thought it would be. But something wasn’t quite there. Like, then the dude singer threw up on stage into a bucket, it was totally unceremonious. You couldn’t tell if it was on purpose, or whether he was a little embarrassed. It just sort of happened, and then the guy with the backpack took the bucket away. It was a good show (although opener Juiceboxxx was pretty terrible), but one you should kick yourself about missing.
