Twin Guns at Lone Wolf

Wait, didn't I just say that the lighting at Lone Wolf was all red. Well, yes, but Twin Guns brought some extra lights along just to make themselves look pretty. Aren't they pretty? And they rock too.

Dmitry Wild at Lone Wolf

The stage lights at Lone Wolf are red, red and red. I'm not a big fan of all-red lighting so I decided to try something different this time. Black and white, why not? Anyway, Dmitry Wild looks like Bryan Adams from the Summer of '69 video, but unlike Mr. Adams he has been known to play ROCK MUSIC. Admittedly the iPod accompaniment was a bit off-putting. He played the wrong song once -- is his usual band back in San Francisco? Mr. Wild handled it with class, then continued to kick some ass.

The Jigglers at Don Pedro

The Jigglers are the kind of wild and fun trash rock band I used to catch at Don Pedro all the time. As of late it is under new ownership and is actually nicer than before in many ways but... it's not the same, you know? The Jigglers, on the other hand, sound the same as they did the first time I heard them, which I believe was last year. Good! Keep it up!

Psychic Ills at Music Hall of Williamsburg

I'm obsessed with the drummer's mask. There, I said it. I think what happened is that the Psychic Ills' music put me in a meditative mood so I spent a half hour meditating on this mask. Where have I seen that mask before? A horror movie? Some French film? I simply can not remember. Maybe I'll ask Vishnu the next time I catch his band.

The Black Angels at Music Hall of Williamsburg

Now here's a show which made me think a little. The Black Angels came out on stage and I said to myself "They're dressed up as Slipknot!" Now, The Black Angels's music is heavy but not in a metal sort of way. The rhythms are driving but do not inspire headbanging. I hope they're not trying to appeal to the metal crowd. That won't work work, folks. At least I hope it won't. I wasn't expecting a mosh pit at this show either, but...
