A Real Live Wire: Mondo Topless Sneak Attacks the Whig

What wilder way to wind-up a month than with a third garagepunk get-down at the Whig! ...Mondo Topless pullin' a sneak attack on Cola-town...

& let me say this was a real shocker surprise, kids...the story goes that no shows were to be had fer the intrepid 'Topless boys in the entirety of the state of SC...therefore last Thursday had been chalked up as a rest day fer the Mondo maniacs...but lo, a last ditch power-play of phones calls earned the band a gig at the Whig...all be it an un-payed gig...& as sheer testament to immutable enthusiasm & the triumph of bad taste the restless locals of Cola-town were treated to some terrific tunage...

Mondo Topless wasn't even discouraged by the jerry-rigged PA system or botched last-minute promotion of the show neither...but with a hard row to hoe they put on a raucous show...once again I was glad there's folks that still know how to get with it, turn it all out, & let the band know they dig it with their undulatin'...count yerself lucky if ya were there as I doubt ya ever gonna see another spontaneous garage-freakout like this again at the Whig or anywhere else on this rock fer quite a while, baby...

Addin' to the frantic fire fer me, the boys took my requests even, in addition to a totaled, yet never tired encore fer a sweaty but small crowd...there were sparks in the air, kids...thank the lord no one lit a match! Sam (lead singer and organ-grinder fer the band) commented after the show just how wild it was to have an audience manhandle his Jaguar with so much love and abandon...but in the moment of a great garage show us down South, starved fer sleazy sounds, can't help but get involved in the insanity...'course it also don't hurt to have the spring board of just-fun musical mayhem that Mondo Topless seems to make so effortlessly...in a perfect world playin' a shakey shindig under these conditions, pro bono, should earn these cats from Philly plenty of positive garagepunk golden stars.....I know that I owe 'em some gas money at least
