Imperial Teen with Von Iva @ The Independent 12/13/07

Artist:
This was my first time seeing Roddy Bottum and his spectacular band Imperial Teen so it was definitely a treat to snap photos of the band. I missed the first opening act completely. Not one song. But I was lucky enough to catch Von Iva who seriously impressed me. They even got me dancing...a little, and that's pretty darn good. In any case, they hella rocked.
It was big beats and lots of synth bass parts with ACDC written all over it. I am sure a lot of you moggers out there will hella dig this stuff.
Imperial Teen took center stage at around 10:00 but right before they started their set I saw...Mark Eitzel! I had to run over and introduce myself being a big American Music Club fan and all. He told me they aren't planning to gig until April sometime. I hate that I couldn't make it out to their show at Rickshaw Place earlier this month. It was also great talking to Jone from Imperial Teen who told us they hadn't played since October, but there weren't cobwebs during their set. It was great to hear their raw punk like quality. They hit in full stride after a few songs to tease the audience. I kept wondering why this band didn't get more recognition. It was an awesome evening and I enjoyed seeing them for the first time. I hope to catch them the next time they take the stage
