Review: Spigga Live at the Lucky Dog in Worchester, MA

UPDATE: For any who have read this already, I’m sorry for the broken links. I had a software issue that is now fixed. The mp3’s work now, the pics work now…Sigh.

(A brief disclaimer: I have known Gio for a long time, and used to do sound for one of his previous bands.)

It must be summertime – Spigga is on the East Coast! On Sunday Night (7/14/07), I went down to the Lucky Dog to see Spigga. These guys play a funked up mix of… Well, it’s always a challenge to describe what they do. The best way I could describe them is take Prince, David Bowie, Trent Reznor and George Clinton throw them in a blender, add a large amount of Latino/hispanic flavour, and hit pureé.

That night, the band was heading into their 3rd show in 24 hours, yet they still hit the stage with a ferocious level of energy.

This time around, they have new live drummer – Troy “Big Coston”, who plays the smallest kit I’ve seen outside of a jazz club. While his kit is small, his groove is monsterous!

The whole band was hot and tight – sounds like a porno, doesn’t it? But that’s kinda where Spigga’s music takes you. It’s insane music for dancing your booty off – and dancing is fucking with your clothes on.

Spigga makes you want to get down and dirty, and that’s a damned good thing!With Their Permission, here a four mp3’s for your listening pleasure. Feel Free to share them with your friends! Click the speaker to play the songs, and click the link to download them.

Time for some linklove…

Hey everybody! It’s time for everyones favorite game show! It’s time for Link-Love!

Here are the places I spend way too much time at these days:

The Shrine of Knowledge, a brand spanking new gaming site. Mostly of the P&P Role-playing and Tabletop sort, it covers just about anything gamer related (and there’s a store as well…)

iPagan, a home for pagans online. Started by the same monkey who created Witchcraft.net about 100 years ago, iPagan is much more relaxed, intimate and tolerant. Hey, Even my Mom hangs out there.

Macintosh.ws, a funny (usually) site that has “mac news that hits you like a punch in the giblets”.

Unprotected Sleep. A site that deals with the nocturnal emissions of our minds.

The 4 sites above are the products of my little friend (say ‘ello to my leetle frieend…) Ray. He’s a talented designer/coder. Give him work to do, and pay for his website creation addiction!

A daddyblog I just started reading, Gaming with Baby is a SAHD, who is also an avid video gamer. Interesting reviews, and notes from life.

Listen here!
First is the brand new Audio Adaptation of The Illuminatus! by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson. One of the best (or worst) mindfucks ever. There are excerpts available, but I recommend buying the bad boy. I’ll be doing so as soon as I can.

Like to have the shit scared out of you? Here’s a free Audiobook for you.EarthCore by Scott Sigler is an amazing first novel. Sigler will blow your mind. It’s scifi/horror/suspense, and you will find yourself putting stuff off, and making excuses just to find out what happens next, I promise. NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH!

And LAst, but not least, if any of y’all are on the myspace, these are Mine:
