Sorceress at Bowery Electric
Despite the cold weather it was hot and sweaty on stage. Some of 'em got rid of their coats. As a photographer I would like to thank anyone who takes off their black coat. Nothing like shooting folks wearing black in a dark room. Trying to look good while rocking out must be a pain, but sometimes so it photographing people who are trying to look good while rocking out.

The Jigglers at Bowery Electric
The Jigglers billed themselves as the second-best band with a lefty guitarist and a sax player on the bill. Or at least that's what they said. I wouldn't believe everything they say. Most of it is awfully silly. And as for their songs, well, they are bouncy, catchy garage pop (and sometimes awfully silly). As for me, I was hoping for rock-n-roll jugglers and was terribly disappointed, but at least I avoided the jaguars.

The Waldos at Bowery Electric
Not too long ago I said that older punk bands were better. Exhibit B, The Waldos. Yes, their lead singer looks like he should be the Duke of Something-or-Other and off sipping tea with the Queen. Instead he's off rocking hard. Very nice.

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.
