Monday June 19,2017 I found myself at The Beauty Bar on Fremont Street, however the show was to be played outside the bar. Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein, guitar player for the legendary band The MISFITS brought his band DOYLE and newest solo album “As We Die” to Las Vegas Nevada for a night of hard hitting rock and roll! With special guest bands DAVEY SUICIDE and DEAD GIRLS CORP. It was also one of the hottest nights on record for Las Vegas Nevada, the following day was the hottest day ever recorded in Vegas and much of the southwest United States!
After local acts EMDF and A BURDEN ON SOCIETY finished their sets and showed off their talents, it was time for the band DEAD GIRLS CORP from Hollywood to get down to business. Dead Girls Corp has a unique sound, blending Goth Rock and Industrial Rock. The band currently consists of Toddy T on Vocals, Bruce Miyaki on Bass, Dave Teague on Guitar and on Drums Dead Girl Mel McFail. Each member has their own swagger and style that comes together melodically to create DGC’s identity. I am looking forward to seeing them play at a better venue sometime in the future. I will talk more about this later, for now Dead Girls Corp gets credit for sticking it out in the record heat and putting on a show that has me wanting to listen to much more of their music!
Next band on that hotter than Hell evening was DAVEY SUICIDE. I was wondering if they would tone down their high energy theatric performance a bit cause of the heat and small stage but I would soon find out that they would pull no punch’s .Drayven got the show started with his heavy handed precision drumming and Davey came out towering over the crowd in full front man regalia, multiple lairs to be precise. From the second they started to play, more people began to wander out of the bar for the show. Playing songs from their new album “Made From Fire” and prior releases in true Generation Fuck Star Fassion!! Davey Suicide is made up of members Niko Gemini ,Needlz , Derek Obscura, Drayven Davidson (once a member of Static-X/Wayne Static) and the one and only Davey Suicide Every time I see them live they put on a great show and have more songs added to the set list. I definitely look forward to the next time I see DAVEY SUICIDE take the stage over.
Well after the sun had gone, the City of Sin was afire and it was time for DOYLE to execute! With his iconic horror themed look made famous from his time in The Misfits along with his self-designed Annihilator guitar, Doyle was ready to go! The band went straight into jamming “Abominator”. DOYLE band members are Alex Story (also vocalist/songwriter for Cancer Slug), Brandon Strate on Bass guitar and on this evening Wade Murff on the Drum kit. After a few of fast paced “Love” songs ended, I wondered how long they would be able to perform with the excessive heat outside. In all they played fourteen songs! A mix of tracks from the well-received “Abominator” album and some new ones from the recently released and climbing the charts “As We Die” album. My personal favorite was when they played “Valley Of Shadows”,I think that song really shows off the bands skills. Seeing DOYLE play that intense for that long was amazing!
What an amazing show at a horrible venue. If it wasn’t for the world class talent on stage I would have left. The touring bands didn’t know the show was going to be outside until they arrived and tour bus’s had to park down the street. The Beauty Bar should have mentioned it on the ticket or at least to the musicians.. However, I am definitely glad they stuck it out and made the best of things. It was nice to hear such a crap venue rock so hard!! That was definitely a unique show and one that I will never forget! All the bands that played that night defined what it means to push the limits of the human body!!










Update: Beauty Bar Las Vegas permanently shut down due to safety concerns and incidents that led to eviction and revocation of liquor license
