The worst gig that Dirty Looks frontman Henrik Ostergaard can remember doing began with a lobster dinner.
“It was the first time the promoter had ever done a show, Ostergaard recalls with a smirk, lolling on a staircase backstage before a gig at L.A.’s Whiskey A-Go-Go. “And he really didn’t know what he was doing. He knew he had to feed us, so he gave us lobster dinners and stuff. The problem was that he really didn’t know anything about advertising, so there were only about two hundred people in this huge building. I’d much rather have skipped the food and had the people there.”
Worrying about crowd numbers may soon become a part of Ostergaard’s past. Though the band’s major-label debut Cool From The Wire is making a mark on the hard rock world, it hasn’t exactly been an overnight success.
