| Cheap Perfume are an all-girl rock band that was formed by two CBGB waitresses back in 1977. As well as playing CBGB they soon gained a residency at Max's and opened for everybody from the Dead Boys to Johnny Thunders. Despite patronage from the likes of movers Peter Crowley, Jane Friedman, and Ian Copeland, they remained a downtown NYC live phenom and didn't, to my knowledge, even put out a record before calling it a day in 1982. Like more than one other band of the period the impending demise of CBGB in 2006 was enough to pull them back together to once more grace the hallowed shithole's stage before it disappeared forever. A few more shows followed, but all of these were sans singer Lynn Odell who now lives in L.A. - the rest of the band filling in on vocals. Finally, at this show at The Baggott Inn, Lynn returned to the fold and the full line-up once again was able to rock out. And rock out they did, despite the jokes about menopause, grannys etc, in no uncertain manner. Guitarist Bunny particularly crunched with a big Les Paul sound. One could see in Lynn's sly leer why she would have made a good foil for our Stiv. Drummer Brenda was rock solid, and kept up a stream of facetious ad-libs between songs that had the crowd howling. Nancy and Suzie filled in the sound on rhythm and bass and harmonies with grace. Here you have the last two songs of the set - 'Ordinary Girls', 'Forever Damaged', and the encore - for which the band were joined by Jana Peri on backing vocals - 'Boys'. |
