Röda läppar eller kniv?

Kropp were far better than I expected, actually - the singer's voice held and carried, he sounded better live than he does in the recordings, which was a nice surprise. Hatam was packed with people and there was a lot of enthusiastic pushing and shoving in front of the stage, even more than usual. I had a lot of fun, and experienced another one of those moments when I realize how much I love this scene and these people - long story short, Kropp's big hit is the song there's a live clip from below, Vad Ska Du Ha På Dig Ikväll? which has lyrics that are practically viral, they stick to your brain like glue. For the last couple of weeks we have been continuously working little bits of the refrain into our everyday conversations. It is complete nonsense - literally, what are you going to wear tonight? Knife, or wine? Red lips, or knife? - and that's pretty much it. It just rolls off the tongue so well, somehow.

So the place was full of sweet little boys with undercuts and neat side parts wearing their usual shirts, braces, army pants and uniform tunics plus bright red lipstick yesterday. An acquaintance told me that one or two of them were wearing fake knives on them as well - not real knives, of course, someone might get hurt! - and I don't know about the wine, but I wouldn't be surprised. See why I love this scene so much? There will be no bitching about scene politics and better-than-though attitudes from me, I'm looking firmly on the bright sides.

Requesting pics of the aforementioned sweet little boys :P.

I will redirect you to them as soon as they appear online. :) Didn't bring a camera myself, unfortunately.

Oh I can't wait :). I should perhaps add "sweet young industrial boys" to my list of potential cold cures on my journal?

Also I realised I had to comment again so I could use this icon.

Absolutely! :D

Reichsarbeitsdienst...more homoerotic than the Wehrmacht, and that's saying something.

Male homoeroticism is awesome. There's too little of ye olde leather/biker gay culture in industrial these days!

Catholic Boys In Heavy Leather to the rescue

Musically they kinda suck, but you have to give them credit for picking a theme and then going ALL THE WAY with it.

I think you should, it's an excellent cure for any mild, depressing ailment in my experience. Had a bit of it myself last night, although that was younger rather than young, perhaps.

I hope you get some cool pics !!!

[pimpinett.livejournal.com]

I hope so too. :) There should be at least some pictures popping up sooner or later. Pity I didn't bring a camera myself.

I'm going to my family house this week hopfully I can find those caps.

[pimpinett.livejournal.com]

Take some pictures! I'll try to line up some good shots for you, too.

What lipstick is that ?

[pimpinett.livejournal.com]

Kryolan 212. Kryolan lipsticks are great, I love this one.

[volksjager.livejournal.com]

where do you get it ?

At the local theatre make-up and wig shop (http://www.sminkochperukmakarn.com/), it's my favourite place for make-up shopping. Danceshopper.com (http://www.danceshopper.com/) is supposed to be a good place for ordering Kryolan online, if there's no brick-and-mortar store that sells it in Boston, but it looks like they don't have the regular Kryolan lipstick line.
