Anybody have an opinion of the opening band -- Kaito U.K.

I've heard them on KEXP, both on record and live. Too noisy and non-melodic for me, but I though they at least sounded original and likeable if you're into louder noisier stuff than I am.

 I listened to a little of their stuff on the KEXP archives.  Not overly impressed.

I may just have to go to that show! Anyone know the other bands (Paper Doll, etc.)? And HIPS is a terrific local organization.

Thanks, Kurosawa -- HIPS is a great local organization.  I've been on the host committee for an annual HIPS event, and the people involved are inspiring.  This particular need would not have occured to me, but it makes sense once you talk to folks.
 
 Here's their website.
 
 "HIPS mission is to assist female, male, and transgendered individuals engaging in sex work in Washington, DC in leading healthy lives. Utilizing a harm reduction model, HIPS' programs strive to  address the impact that HIV/AIDS, discrimination, poverty, violence and drug use have on the lives of individuals engaging in sex work."

why don't we get rid of the societal sickness that motivates people to get a hooker, and put them out of business?

Don't know about Amateur Party and La Mita Violenta (I can ask Hugh on tuesday), but Paper Doll are (yet another) girl-punk band that sound almost exactly like the most melodic side of Sleater-Kinney...not bad, exactly, just not all that interesting.  You can grab an mp3 here

Holy shit! All this time and I had no idea that Joe Lally was in The Black Sea. That's one of the bands that I got my UK friends into a little over a year ago.
