  Concrete Blonde - PopMatters Concert Review
So Concrete Blonde split up and Johnette dabbled in a few other musical outfits, but mostly she licked her wounds, waiting for the sun to set on slacker-rock and planning the rebirth of vamp(ire)-rock.
Thompson is no longer with Concrete Blonde, however, and it seems curious that the band would open their own comeback album with a tribute to a much more popular band, recently reunited.
Concrete Blonde paced their set well, mixing in most of the best songs from Group Therapy with many of their classics (with the notable exceptions of any song of Mexican Moon, what many consider their best album).

 Land of the Lostboy - Airwaves (Concrete Blonde)
Plus, the audience had this strange desire to press towards the stage, making for a very cramped and physically brutal experience (a number of smaller women in the audience had to be hoisted over the protective barrier between the band and the mob, and led to safety).
As Concrete Blonde's earliest album, this has much more of a LA garage-band flavor to it than their later albums.
Bloodletting was the Blonde's first introduction to mainstream society, I believe, with their hit "Joey" (which received a lot of airtime on radio stations and whose video was shown on MTV).

Concrete Blonde's fan base is avid and no one can take that away from the trio.
As the band continued to please the crowd with a mix of material old and new ("Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)," "Angel," "Everybody Knows"), it became apparent that their return, after eight years of mostly lying low, could not be viewed as anything but triumphant.
