A nearly packed show, Lords of Acid with Little Miss Nasty, made a stop at the renowned Bourbon Theatre in Lincoln, Nebraska, on Friday, June 6, 2025.
The Praise the Lords tour kicked off with Lincoln’s own eccentric performer, Plack Blague, who energized the crowd with a 30-minute set of leather-infused electronic dance music. This was my second time attending his show; the first was back in spring 2014 at Knickerbockers, just a few blocks west of Bourbon Theatre, where he opened for Genitorturers. It’s unfortunate that the venue is now closed and demolished. I remember him wearing a black leather mask with a zipper over his mouth, which felt a bit unsettling.
Next in the lineup was Los Angeles’ dynamic dance troupe, Little Miss Nasty, known for opening for Lords of Acid. They delivered a rock-and-roll burlesque show featuring five striking and athletic women showcasing daring moves and captivating poses. Each song featured the girls in a variety of outfits, performing perfectly timed simulations of sensual acts, bondage, and bold, sexy dancing. Their acrobatics on the rack were incredibly powerful, executed with precise movements, and each performer had the chance to highlight her unique style.
The fans enjoyed a roughly 25-minute break to grab beers, visit the restroom, and gear up for the show. As the lights dimmed, Lords of Acid took the stage with their opening song, “Voodoo-U,” instantly electrifying the crowd. This marked their first Lincoln show with Carla Harvey, former co-vocalist of Butcher Babies, now fronting the band. Harvey captivated the audience with her magnetic and fierce energy, delivering vocals that brought a fresh yet faithful twist to the Lords’ iconic sound. Her raw versatility elevated the performance as Praga Khan dominated the keyboard and synth, DieTrich Thrall laid down groovy basslines alongside Galen Waling’s tight drumming, and the ominous Creighton Emrick unleashed guitar riffs, giving Lincoln its unforgettable introduction to Lords of Acid 2025.
Midway through their set, Little Miss Nasty‘s Gina Katon and Skyler Massey joined the band on stage, holding up a large sign that read “Praise the Lords” on one side and “Fuck the Rest” on the other. During the powerful anthem “Worship the Lords,” they danced energetically, flipping middle fingers in the air, and the crowd enthusiastically followed suit. The rebellious energy of the night was truly electrifying.
A little later, as the band launched into the track “Rubber Doll,” a plastic blow-up doll was tossed into the crowd, triggering a burst of laughter. The timing was perfect. The inflatable figure floated over the audience, bouncing from hand to hand and sailing across heads. It was absolutely wild.
During “Pussy,” right after “Rubber Doll,” Harvey welcomed female audience members to join her onstage. A surge of fans eagerly rushed forward, dancing and singing along with Harvey in a remarkably cool way to have a great time with the band on stage.
For both longtime fans and newcomers, this show captured everything that makes Lords of Acid iconic: endless energy, unapologetic freedom, and a touch of chaos. Carla Harvey’s addition to the band feels perfectly suited and refreshingly inspired, bringing new life to a group known for pushing limits.
The Praise The Lords tour runs until June 29th, concluding in Las Vegas. For a wild, unforgettable night filled with music, dance, and pure attitude, this is a show you don’t want to miss.
