Two Really Good Shows

I've been so backed up lately at work that I haven't had time to write about some recent shows.  The Gaslight Anthem was great at Radio City.  I heard more than a few complaints that they were off that night, but this was my first time seeing them and if this was off then watch out folks...

Gaslight Anthem are just a killer rock & roll band.  In my opinion their sound is ready made for big arenas (not desirable) right now.  I'd love them to stay in smaller venues but they are just so right for big crowd sing-a-longs.  Catch them if you can.

The Subdudes made their annual trek to NYC and were their usual wonderful selves.  Just a great group of musicians.  It's worth going just for the encores with the band un-mic'd out in the crowd.  Pure talent.

Two great recent shows by two totally different bands.

I don't know if there is gonna be a backlash that often comes with success, but to me this band is just what music needs. A great rock band playing songs you want to hear over and over. And remember I ain't no kid...

I don't think I've spent a summer playing a record over and over again since Born in the USA came out in 1984. I don't know who's looking forward to the Radio City show more, me or my 16 year old son.

Gaslight Anthem

Just a great young rock band. Don't be a hater, just have some fun.
