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.

The Brimstones at Bowery Electric

Until this evening I had not realized that (lead singer) Deacon wears a "Clergy" button. Wouldn't church be more fun with these guys in charge? Or perhaps they only do funerals? That would be fitting.

The Back C.C.s at Brooklyn Fireproof

How is it that every Back CCs show turns into a crazy party (which is to say, a party full of crazies)? They just know how to make it happen.

The Othermen at Brooklyn Fireproof

The Othermen are always fun to watch. Catching them outdoors during the Summer was something a little extra special. I mean that in both a good way (a nice breeze, actual greenery in the place) and a bad way (folks vomiting on the ground).

The Black Hollies at Maxwell's

While being entertained by a fine performance by The Black Hollies I also found myself amused by the lighting. Each member of the band was a different color, each color matching a flavor of Kool-Aid. There was Grape Hollie, Orange Hollie and Cherry Hollie. Lime Hollie had some cherry color (maybe someone forgot to wash the pitcher?) and sure enough if you put 'em all together you get Black.
