Beatnik 2000 commentary - The Furors

On Monday, Memorial Day, May 31st, Edward Leonards long running Beatnik 2000 series held it's 524th show at Cafe 9. For the first hour the audience was treated to poetry and the acoustic stylings of Peter Lachmann and Dan Racaniello. Then Sliver Bitch took the stage (Disclaimer: I am in the band Sliver Bitch) and blew it up. We exited the stage quite pleased with the power and force with which we delivered our set. This is, until The Furors played their set. It may have seemed like we (Sliver Bitch) had thrown down the gauntlet, but The Furors, local New Haven legends of 30+ years, just went on and gave one of the best performances I have ever seen by them. They schooled us young pups on how it is done. In fact, I'll let their final song of the night show you exactly what I mean...
