Dirty Fuzz
Artist: Dirty Fuzz
Hometown: London, U.K.
Venue: Blender Bar at the Ritz, 8:00 p.m. Friday
Pre-Show Buzz: If AC/DC fired Brian Johnson and picked up Tina Turner, people would accuse them of copying Dirty Fuzz. Tough, unrestrained and very tasty, Elida Zulu is everything a lead singer of a dirty, whiskey-fueled, garage outfit ought to be.
High Point: Everything from licking the microphone to gyrating on the mike stand to the rowdy group effort during “Crash and Burn” — Zulu’s a diva in a rock band all right.
Low Point: The event was heavily sponsored by companies (Verizon, Guess cologne) that I now detest thanks to the massive film projector that played 12-feet-tall commercials throughout the show.
Post Show Buzz: I don’t know about everybody else but I was ready to let Zulu do with me as she pleased.
Afterthoughts: I felt sorry for the next guy to use that microphone.
