Who: Cute LepersWhen: 9:00 p.m.Where: Salmon Bay Eagles”No, you cannot take a smoke break. You’re scheduled to go on in two minutes,” an exasperated REVERB staffer told the Cute Lepers when one of its members asked if there was time for a pre-show cigarette. There were sighs and murmurs, but the band relented and after tinkering with their equipment for exactly two minutes, launched into a bouncy rendition of the infectious Ramones-esque song “Fall to Pieces.” What followed were several more pop-infused songs that had fans both young and old dancing up a storm. Cute Lepers are a delight to see live because there are indeed cute, and more importantly, they always look thrilled to be playing music onstage, even if they don’t get a good nicotine buzz beforehand.
