review: Devil's Night. Is Otto's the new CBGB's?
CBGB’s might be gone, but us people of the night have a new place we can call home. I am talking about Otto’s Shrunken Head.
Not sure if it is the place itself, the bands that play there, or a combination of both. All in all it could be the great spirit of father Vincent that makes sure everybody has a safe, naughty time.
I strongly believe that Otto’s is the unofficial new home of the Saints of Pain. The number of gigs played at Otto’s is slowly creeping up on the number of gigs they played at CBGB’s. (or did that happen already?)
If you have no clue what I’m talking about, then let me paint this picture for you.
You walk towards Otto’s and you know already that you are at a cool place. How do you know? Because as soon as you approach the entrance, the group of people hanging outside start calling your name and welcoming you.
Once inside, the bartender nods at you, because he knows you are going to order a heinekin. A band is playing in the back, and you try to find a spot at the bar waiting, just waiting for the band that will bring the house down.
You talk to some people, some friends come over and you have a beer or two, go outside for a cigarette, and come back to your beer.
Then the moment arrives when father Vincent announces that the greatest band on earth is about to take the stage, and that’s when the magic happens. That’s when you feel it in your bones that you are going to have a blast, that new disciples are going to be won over, and that you are going to rock the night away next to old disciples...
