Dirty Cupcakes tonight at the Knockout

So they’ve got a rad look, a rad sound, and you’ll recall the fuss we made over their especially epic outfits from last time. Can you think of a reason not to see Dirty Cupcakes tonight? I can’t.

    They are just… bad. Cute, but bad. They sound like chipmunks who learned to play the guitar only last week.

    So many great bands out there and you post this? If it were dudes they’d never make this page.

      if you hated women a little less, they might talk to you.

      Agreed. While it’s refreshing to see all female bands, the bar should be set a little higher for the ladies–preferably above breast level. Hopefully this is a valiant start to something more imaginative.

        Agreed? So you went to the show and are making an informed judgment?

        I went. It ruled!

          No, I’m making a flash-judgement based on one video of a three chord, practically monosyllabic song (okay, five chords, barely). It’s true that there are many dynamics that can make a performance good or bad other than songwriting. But songwriting is still really important. These ladies have great energy and are probably/hopefully onto something really good, I just don’t think it’s happened quite yet. BTW, I’m a female musician and not totally indifferent to disparate standards in the music community.
          But you’re right, I didn’t see the show so I could be talking out my ass.

            SInce when did chord count equate good musicianship? John Coltrane’s “Impressions” is two chords.

            I see your point about musicianship, but I think there is an equal amount to be said about performance. A lot of really great musicians do a shitty job of performing and presenting themselves well at a show.

            Also different strokes. I personally think the Doors are boring as fuck, but lots of people like them, so I just chalk it up to taste.

    I was wondering why I had a 300 spike view count for this video, I love The Dirty Cupcakes, I’ve seen them do good and bad shows, but that describes many bands. YouTube user CrispinSF, I have some good video up there, it’s not like I get paid per view, I just want to turn you on to good music as I’m a loser and go out to shows 5 nights a week so I know what’s out there.

    Thanks, Allan! All your support is appreciated and so awesome.

    We’re working on sprucing up our online presence. Since we unanimously agree that is the “WORST video of our band in existence,” I hope you’ll keep an open mind about our upcoming music video.

    Hate on, haters!
