The Back C.C.s at Don Pedro

The Rebel Night Weekender went straight through until Wednesday! These photos were taken at the first afterparty, held on Monday at Don Pedro. You know you're dealing with people who know how to party when phrases like "first afterparty" are being thrown around.

The Trashmen at The Warsaw

The Trashmen are surely best known nowadays for their 60's hit "Surfin' Bird". It was no great surprise to learn that a band which just spent months touring Europe still sound really good. What was surprising was seeing drummer Mark Andreason drumming while standing a couple of times. He even started running around the stage near the end of the show! Rock-n-Roll must be keeping these boys feelin' young.

The A-Bones at The Warsaw

Opening for legendary artists like The Trashmen is probably fairly easy for these guys. After all the A-Bones includes Billy and Miriam of Norton Records, an indie label which puts out garage and retro rock-n-roll by both older and modern bands. They probably send Christmas cards to bands like that. They can keep up with 'em in the rockin'-n-rollin' department too. In the last few shots they are joined by The Great Gaylord (musician and WFMU DJ).

The Black Hollies at The Knitting Factory

I was told that every performer at the Reisling Festival received a bottle of wine. Some of them seem to have finished their bottles before others. While I would not rank this among the top Black Hollies performances I have seen, I will say that with the spirit of the occasion in them they performed in the spirit of the occasion.

Nouvellas at The Knitting Factory

Apparently there is a National Chocolate Ice Cream day, which is of course just an excuse to eat chocolate ice cream. Then there's the week long Reisling Festival. It's a type of wine. Guess what the point of that is? Yes, and also music apparently. Here we have Nouvellas performing for a classier bunch of boozehounds than usual.
