Asociale at Public Assembly
Since I haven't posted anything in a week or so, here are another of the bands from last week's big Oi show. Asociale are a strange bunch. They dress like squares and some of the guitar riffs made me think "New Wave", not Punk. The audience didn't care, the music was solid, no complaints.
The Templars at Public Assembly
This photoset features many pictures of the audience. They were the real story of this show. See, the Templars sounded good but were hardly exciting to watch. They had no stage presence at all really. But... this audience wasn't really paying attention to things like "stage presence". They were more interested in crushing one another (and me!)
Tokyo Rocks at Bowery Electric
With regards to the "Rocks" part: yes, they did. Now, as for the "Tokyo" part, I'm not sure where these folks are from. As compared to The Back CCs (who are all Japanese) these folks are trying to look like a Japanese rock band. They might actually be locals, though. Couldn't tell ya'. They're not exactly easy to Google, you see.
