I was "privileged" enough to see the band 2 for Flinching tonight at Sky's sparsely attended beer stube. 2 for Flinching seems to specialize in rap-rock covers, and we were lucky enough to get god-awful renditions of songs by both Linkin Park and Evanescence. They even threw in some straight rap in the form of the Eminem/Dr. Dre song "Forgot about Dre." Fortunately for those of us who have soured on the rap-rock phenomenon, 2 for Flinching threw in covers of The White Stripes, The Strokes, Sublime, Good Charlotte, and others; this was apparently an attempt to remind their audience that they could mess up rock songs as well as rap-rock. So, should you ever find yourself in the situation of having dropped more money on a cover than you should have only to find that 2 for Flinching is the featured band, I can only recommend that you start drinking early and keep drinking all night long; I can't contemplate how you'd make it through a 2 for Flinching show otherwise. Even the band agrees, as they were the drunkest people at Sky's tonight.
