DZJENGHIS KHAN, ORANGE SUNSHINE
(2/3 @ Dunes, 1905 NE MLK) Oh Dunes, you deserve so much better than this. Your blackened hall has hosted such a variety of amazing entertainment over the years, making it an essential Portland landmark of equal importance to the X-Ray or EJ's. So when you open your doors to the dregs of the retro-metal revival, I weep for thee. Yes Dzjenghis Khan, I know we all own the same records from the '70s. You've played them 'til they wore thin and replaced them with remastered CDs and ringer shirts from the mall and eBay. If only you could reach a little harder, and bring some life, some new idea, any shred of relevance to your carbon-copy rock. But you can't, can you? It's much easier to wallow in your hip threads and play the same riffs into the ground and drink and give in to your own mediocrity. Apologies to Orange Sunshine. They're from the Netherlands but they suffer the same mortal flaw. No one will ever be Led Zeppelin again. Not without at least trying to eek out a drop of something fresh or great. When it comes to classic rock, "good enough" quit cutting it about 20 years ago. For shame. NATHAN CARSON, Portland Mercury | | Record Label | Blast Off!
