BRUTAL SEX or “Brutally Sucks”

Last Saturday’s Foundation for Quadriplegic Incontinent Men (QUIM) fundraising event was a musical feast, and a tribal triumph! But, it was also very nearly a horrific human disaster.
Two bands played Roseland that night. Squatcher opened and Brutal Sex Headlined. Squatcher was the more refined performance. Giving a great show, working the crowd, excellent song choices for the crowd that night. Brutal Sex was a different story all together At first they seemed promising, The front man has all the tools to be electrifying. With an animalistic drummer and a Zakk Wylde look-a-like guitarist, they have stage presence. They obviously didn’t do their homework like Squatcher did.
Their first song “Loud n Rowdy” is an 80’s style crowd pleaser which begs for audience participation. Unfortunately, that participation requires limbs. Something the quadriplegic community is slightly lacking. With lines like “Raise your horns and Raise your hands high” with their front man egging the audience to “COME ON LETS SEE THOSE HANDS!!” Needless to say, it was a complete fail. It’s as if the band just performed what they practiced in their rehearsal space.
The drummer went into a fully entertaining drum solo, which warmed the crowd up a bit. But I could tell, if some of the crowd could, I bet they would have walked out, lucky for Brutal Sex they basically had a captive audience.
Then something miraculous happened. The band must have discussed a change in strategy during the drum solo. They came out with their next song “Sultry Seductress”. From stage left and stage right came a dozen scantily clad women descending the stage as the song played. Leading each line of women were two girls dressed as a stripper version of The Mario Brothers! The girls worked the crowd as the song played. Tommy jumped down pointing at various men and the women would straddle them. The crowd suddenly went into a wild frenzy. I’m sure all the guys all crapped themselves! Brilliant move and a show saver.
They made a goat performance into a G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time) SHOW in one song. The QUIM fund raiser collected funds that night, one dollar at a time! Thanks to the members of BRUTAL SEX and their showmanship.
BRUTAL SEX – Not just a catchy name
