I imagine that obscure band sounds a lot like Bell X-1...
ReplyDeleteTee hee hee.
jolly joker.
ReplyDeleteHey, since you're so East Coast Cool and all, I would think you've seen the Figgs any number of times?
I have to confess, I'd never even heard of them until now- their tour calendar only listed one show in NYC, and a couple in NJ and on "the Island". These days, I don't get to as many concerts as I'd like- I like to see Mary Courtney (the one who sang the duet with Larry Kirwan) as often as I can, I get to see Black 47 a couple of times a year...
ReplyDeleteLast major concert I saw was Robyn Hitchcock at my haunt in Brooklyn.
well, get thee hence, ya bastard!
ReplyDeleteI know they are more of a Jersey band, but they normally play the burg quite often. I think they are working toward a new release, but if they come round, you need to see them. All the best aspects of Costello, the Kinks, the Who, and the Ramones, plus they are good guys.
I once saw them play, WAY hungover, for me and four other people in a bar in Milwaukee, and still kicked more ass than most other bands.
They are my third favorite band to see live, behind the Mekons, and Black 47.
tied for third place with the Waco Brothers.
