JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS at The Marquee Theater

Review and photos by Rikki Lee
So as I'm sure you already know, I was late to this show too. When I got to the venue I had asked the box office girl if the Riverboat Gamblers had gone on yet (since they were who I was there for) and she said no. "Great" I thought, "I've actually made it on time for once." WRONG! I got to the stage and started watching the band. My plus one asked who they were and right on time they end a song and say, "Thanks everyone. We're The Riverboat Gamblers and this is our last song." The box office girl lied! So I had to push my way through the crowd to attempt to get pictures since I knew that security wouldn't let me in the press pit. I managed one photo. Sorry! I'm a little upset that I didn't get to catch the full set since I've heard many, many great things about The Gamblers--a lot of it via Mike from The Street Dogs.
The one song I heard was great though. I guess I'll have to catch them next time.
I found out after the fact that the Eagles of Death Metal Josh Homme of Queens of Stone Age's side-project. If you haven't seen or heard of them, I'll just say... wow... There isn't much that I can tell you without actually seeing them for yourself. It's quite an experience. Most notably, the singer resembles a hillbilly version of The Fonz, and all the women's panties strung with care from the drum set. As a whole, the band is a gas, and very concerned that the ladies in the audience are doing alright. I'd have to say that I rather enjoyed them. Even if their down-and-dirty-southern-rock sound isn't your cup of tea, they're absolutely worth seeing just to witness the spectacle for yourself.
JOAN JETT is a goddess. Seriously, the woman is just plain fucking amazing. She looks amazing, she can beat any one's ass, and she's the punkest woman out there. Don't fuck with JOAN JETT!
I will be honest when I say that I found myself standing about two feet away from my idol to take photos and it felt like a dream. I had to keep telling myself that I was close enough to JOAN JETT to touch her and that I had to keep myself together, not gape, not drool, and most of all--NOT FREAK OUT! I think I did okay, but I'm still trying to grasp that any of it happened.
Anyway, Ms. Jett and her longtime band, The BLACKHEARTS started out the show with the two best possible choices--"Bad Reputation" and "Cherry Bomb." Let me tell you, you haven't lived until you've seen the Goddess herself do the ch-ch-ch's of Cherry Bomb.
Score: 9 (of ten)
