Blowfly sings the A-Z's of vaginas. Click Photo for Full Gallery!
On Wednesday night, Blowfly added a thick layer of filth to every inch of the Biltmore Cabaret, spewing his x-rated lyrics over well known beats. With no teeth and long, yellow finger nails, he looks like a crack addict one might find in Vancouver’s own Downtown East Side. Still, he’s been around for a long time and people seemed to enjoy the crude words he sang. Often he would pick someone out of the crowd (me at one point) and make vulgar sexual comments or even touch their hands or hair. I’ll be honest, it creeped me out; However, it didn’t stop smiles from forming on the faces of the people who did show up to see Blowfly. Girls got up on stage and danced, grinding on each other, while others just laughed at the ridiculousness of the whole act.
Opening for Blowfly were locals Stoop Family with some hip hop beats. I don’t know how to review hiphop, honestly. I’m not even sure how to spell it. Is it one word or two? Hyphenated? Anyway, they were entertaining and I have to give them credit (or props) for successfully putting on their first show as a group. Go check them out.
Also helping start the night was one man and his iPod going by the name Nihilist Party. He danced around with a mic in his hand and sang some poetry over his iPod beats. I almost didn’t photograph him at all because I thought it was someone who got bored waiting for the show to start and just took initiative by plugging his mp3 player in.
