I recently got my hands on the fantastic album Generation Stereotype, and, after one listening I decided it was imperative to see The Kimberly Trip live. I chose their next event, which turned out to be a CD release and benefit show. The event was a fantastic mix of food, prize drawings, silent auctions, cupcakes, and chocolate fountains. Youngsters to oldsters (rockers and walkers?), tattooed to bow-tied, the crowd was as diverse as it gets. It was touching that so many people put enormous energy into the event -- all ticket sales and other proceeds went to help a friend who is battling cancer.The Kimberly Tripput on an inspiring show that was a singularity of modesty and the Best Show in the Known Universe. The band’s crisp bite of Rock combined with brilliant lighting, trampolines, bubble machines, and Kimberlina’s distinct voice was tremendously fun. The Show Must Go On is certainly the cake of The Kimberly Trip, with a rich icing of special effects, and a fine sprinkle of shoot-from-the-hip humor. I’ll be back for another slice.
