And there was actual Rock and Roll actually happening there! Both Rock AND Roll were present and accounted for, thanks to my fine friends from The Chance, Black Landlord, and The Mooney Suzuki.
If you ever see that The Mooney Suzuki are in your neck of the woods, I highly recommend that you drop everything, call in to work sick for the next day, and go see some good ol' kick ass Rock n Roll.
They are good, as tight as a touring band can get, energetic, and loads of fun.
If you go you can expect something like this....

I agree 100%. I saw them 4 years ago in a very, very small venue, the now-defunct Club Laga in Pittsburgh. Their energy was unreal, they came out and walked around the crowd during the encore, rocked the entire fucking house, and my ears hurt for the next 2 days. And lucky my ears were better 2 days later, because I saw the Stones for the first time ever at SARS-Stock in Toronto. Quite a rocking week. |

theres a band here in NY with an album about to come out. I want you all to keep an eye and ear on them.
they're called The Band of Thieves. And they're bringing real R&R back.

The Izzy's are currently recording their 2nd album.
Band of Thieves debut is on its way.
Spanking Charlene's album is coming out next month!
And The New Heathens and Leroy Justice both put out debuts last year that are the most fantastic torn-n-frayed Stonesaholic records! Get them both!
NYC ROCK is back!

Wish we still had Laga! One of the best shows I ever saw was Cracker at Laga in 2002. They had just been dropped from Virgin and played like it was their last show. Lowery went insane and gave the crowd the phone number of some a-hole at Virgin and told us to let him know he we felt about their decision to drop them and sign Mariah Carey to a $80million contract or whatever it was. Unfortunatly there were only like 100 people in the damn place. Guess that is why it is now student housing...

>that's where it all starts...<
Actually, that's where it all IS. I have found big shed/arena/stadium shows to be dull and lifeless...regardless of how good the band is, or how hard they are playing. That was cemented with me after the last big venue show I was at...Raconteurs/Dylan. The bands were fuckin' great, but I just felt so far away and removed from the show that I found my attention drifting. It was like watching a DVD at home. It was fine, but there was little to zero excitement for me.
Club rock is just so.....in your face. Both literally and figuratively. It's a participatory thing. And THAT is the way Rock n Roll was meant to be. Not only that, but you can actually talk to the performers pre and post gig.
Duece...I agree with you about the Star Spangles. I became friends with their manager, and they had some of my pics on their website. Unfortunately, i don't have those pics any more...lost when my hard drive went belly up last year. I remember backing them up onto a disc...but who the fuck knows where that might be. I just made a iPod playlist for my new hot rod, and "I Live For Speed" is on there. Capitol has dropped them, and the record they made with Ian McLagan has been shelved indefinately. The drummer and bass player left the band shortly there-after. I have not heard from them in a long while, and I fear they may be kaput. |
