Tonight, ever-controversial rock 'n' rollers The Pretty Reckless are playing Bottom of the Hill. Say what you will about this quartet and its 18-year-old singer, Taylor Momsen -- they attract an audience way more diverse than most. In case you head down to Bottom of the Hill for the former Gossip Girl actress' band tonight, here's a round-up of the seven types of people you should expect to find there.
1. Fucked Up Teenage Girls
Or at the very least, teenage girls who think it's glamorous and interesting to be look fucked up and/or dress like underage hookers. Like this:
was rolling around in oil, wearing nothing but bikinis and chaps, and
thrusting at everyone and everything in her general vicinity. Momsen's
whole approach to teenage whore-dom (to name check a Hole song) is much darker. She looks like a girl Marilyn Manson
would roll around with in one of his sexy videos -- and there are
plenty of girls who aspire to do such things. Tonight, the teens who
aspire to be dark and sexy and inappropriate will be out in droves. Try
not to stare at their bras and garter belts -- it only encourages them.
2. People Who Like Their Rock Straightforward
We really hate to admit this, and yes, it doesn't happen often, but occasionally The Pretty Reckless write a song with a killer chorus. Go ahead, hit play on "Miss Nothing." It starts out exactly as you'd imagine -- totally obvious, a bit cringe-worthy... and then the chorus hits. Sure, it ain't gonna change the world, but think of it this way: if Juliette Lewis put this out, we'd all think it was fine.
