The Dwarves @ Knitting Factory, NYC Jan. 24, 2007

The Dwarves @ Knitting Factory, Jan. 24, 2007 It is hard to believe that The Dwarves have now been at it for over 20 years. If anything, the band had gotten more musical and their sets tighter over the years. Even the set times seem to be getting longer (I remember 20 minute sets in the late-80s and early-90s).

The band played about a 45 minute set last Wednesday and ran through highlights from most of their releases. I wasn't keeping track of the songs but remember them playing Free Cocaine, Astroboy, Dairy Queen, I will Deny, Salt Lake City and many others.

The Dwarves latest release is a DVD entitled FEFU. The Dwarves website describes the disc as follows:

The FEFU video is made by BOB SEXTON with a little help from naked pin-up nymphets the SUICIDE GIRLS. Fetish artist DAVE NAZ contributes a huge dose of perversion as the Dwarves premiere a video that can't be shown for a song that can't be broadcast. Nudity, violence and dwarf love make FEFU the most popular GREEDY/MVD release yet and stations across the country spread the video virus while a full length FEFU dvd showcases 20 years of live insanity following the Dwarves from their midwest origins all the way to intercontinental infamy.

BLAG DAHLIA has also released his second novel NINA along with a spoken word cd. The reaction to this depraved tale of a wayward teenage girl is swift and harsh.
