Boc: BOC Cleveland Ohio Show

[Carl Edlund Anderson]

I guess 2ÖC must still be making some money out of playing the county  
fairs with the puppet shows, since I can't think of why else they are  
doing it.  The last time I saw any incarnation of the band (in London  
probably at least 5 years ago!), Alan was still aboard to make it  
3ÖC, but other than Buck (and, actually, Alan) still being able to  
crank out some cool guitar, it was pretty clear that there was  
nothing really going on.  Honestly, Eric's recent "Hamtouchers"  
Warhammer song was more fun than most of "Curse of the Hidden Mirror"  
-- and what's the likelihood of 2ÖC being able to crank out an album  
better than _Harvest Moon_ (which at least had a pretty decent title  
track, for all that it was a retread of something Buck wrote in the  
80s) or _CotHM_?  Slight, is my lamentable prediction -- in which  
case, what's the point?

Though I can understand a band that doesn't produce a lot of new  
material but delivers ripping, amazing live performances .... it's  
not like 2ÖC seem to be doing that anyway. :/ Maybe they figure that  
they are now so low on the radar that they can just run the name into  
the ground with no harm done?  I dunno ....

Cheers,
Carl
