According to Gossip’s Beth Ditto, this show went perfectly disastrously. “I love it when things fall apart live,” says the singer for the Portland, Oregon dance-punks. “Nathan [Howdeshell] forgot to pack his keyboard cord for this show—don’t ask me why he couldn’t get a replacement—and he couldn’t play normally, so we ended up doing, like, drum’n’bass versions of all our stuff. It was great!”
