This time it’s no lie, the Turd Ferguson House is done. It was a shame that its last show couldn’t have boasted a better lineup, but what’re you going to do? I would do something special for this occasion, but I can’t think of anything, so I’ll probably just ramble on a bit at the end of this review.

This show hit some snags. Originally cast as Progressive Thinker, First Reign, and Pterrordactyl, the roster had to be cut down to just the headliner. Where better to have the reunion of the Burlesque House house band than the current equivalent, Turd Ferguson? I have to say, at the beginning of the night, I had fairly low expectations for this show, but I was surprised.

I totally missed First Reign on account of having no idea where this show was. I knew it was near Jubilee Park. I didn’t even know where Jubilee Park was. Here’s my review of what I’m guessing what would have happened if I had seen them.

I could have gone to see Raised by Wolves at the Ferguson House, and I might’ve enjoyed it more, but I had waited to see First Reign for a long time, so I went here. Apparently I was one of the few because the place wasn’t nearly as full as it had been when You Say Party had their CD Release show there.
