Martha Plimpton & Toxic Muffic @ Southpaw, June 2, 2007

Martha Plimpton hosted the 826NYC Benefit show at Southpaw this past Sunday. She was a wonderful host but...here is where I start to show my age. Plimpton has been in dozens of movies and was recently nominated for a Tony for her role in The Coast of Utopia...yet everytime that she got on stage, all I could think about is "She was Stef from The Goonies".


Toxic Muffin was the first band to play and I think they were the youngest. They were a fun way to start the day. The guitar player had some solid chops and the vocalist gave a great showing, which included a very brave rendition of Black Sabbath's Iron Man.
