The Brimstones at The Delancey
Somewhere in New York there is an organ repair person who is being kept in business by this band. Lead singer/organist Deacon Brimstone seems to believe that his instrument is immortal. In his hands it becomes a table, a springboard, an instrument of music and an implement of destruction. He is your teenage brother fronting his first garage band.
The Black Hollies at Brooklyn Bowl
I once criticized Black Hollies lead singer/bassist Justin Angelo Morey for being terribly boring on stage, possibly while he was within earshot. Not sure whether he heard me, but in the interim he has learned to play bass using a maraca and a glass of beer, the former like a bar (as in this photo) and also like a pick. Not bad.
