Photos and Review - Think About Life and Ghetto Nuns

The nice thing about seeing a Think About Life show (and sometimes the grating thing, depending on your mood) is their unbridled enthusiasm. No matter what, they’re going to sing themselves hoarse, jump into the audience, swing a mic stand, and thank everyone and tell them they love them and are truly happy to see them out at the show. This, of course, was the case at Lambi on Wednesday night, however there was a nice counterbalance to their boundless positivity in the form of the dark and terrifying sounds of Ghetto Nuns. As a teenage devotee to all things Al Jorgensen, and more specifically his side project with Jello Biafra called Lard, I was thrilled to hear a band cranking up their drum machines to the terror setting, and blasting the audience with a wave of horrifying sound. If you’re ever in the mood for a really devastating bad trip (and if we’re going to be completely honest with each other, who isn’t at some point in their lives) no band is better suited to the task then the Ghetto Nuns.
