21 years of waiting lead to Scritti Politti's first ever Stateside concert tour, and I was lucky enough to catch 'em in Chicago. The show itself was wasn't super-slick, but perfectly competent, with Green Gartside oozing with his customary charm. A handful of nice surprises in the set too (Brushed With Oil..., The Word Girl, etc) but admittedly, the band deserved a much more eye-pleasing crowd than they got. Where on earth were all the sexy people? Speaking of which, do people just slide into indie hipsterdom 'cause they're not traditionally good-looking?
