It ain't Taco. Big BJ Rubin (x Ferrari Testarossa) & Kevin The Shea (x Storm & Stress) play the standards. Sometimes dudes take their shirts off, be warned. drums and vocals and that's it.

[ CHEESEBURGER ]
Fuck Yeah! Three piece straight oughta Greenpoint, firing off the schlock with miles of smiles on thier faces. Rock 'n Roll thunder ala the best minutes of the Stooges or MC5, shirts off sweaty goofy gratification ala Iggy at his stankiest. Awesome! "When Joe Bradley screams "Ahh, every night is Saturday night, awwwwhl-riiiiiight" on "Saturday Nite", or yells "White liiiight, white liiiight, awh baby, let's get hiiiigh" on "Cocaine", it seems just so wrong,
but as the cliché goes, it feels so right. This is basic, nonsensically simplistic rock'n'roll stripped of everything but soul, belly-fire and vim. It may well be the stuff of entirely disposable, inconsequential, primordially basic, post-ironic rock'n'roll trash, but to rephrase Eric Schlosser somewhat, there is definitely meat in this shit." -Splendid Ezine. Self titled cd out on Aerodrome Records.

[ VIET NAM ]
three fellas from Texas who just moved to rural Pennsylvania. Like late 60s Bob Dylan playing with peak career My Bloody Valentine - with Western twang. "Enigmatic rock duo Vietnam, whose mellow but acerbic music and extended jams have elicited comparisons to Lou Reed, Sonic Youth, and Smog, features vocalist/guitarist Michael William and multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Joshua Garrett and drummer Mike Foss." ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide. Full length out on Vice Records. "VIETNAM plays deep and dark burnout rock building off 60s acid rock and into the double-guitar explosions of Spacemen 3. But what makes them special is singer Michael Gerner 's intensely personal stories of vices and dreams." - Vice Records

[ SILVER ]
Hugeness from Norway, playing stadiums there, insanity. 5 piece co-ed live extravanganza. From the sports complexes of Norway direct to the floor of Tommy's Tavern.

-- MP3 --> http://www.thesilverband.com/funeral_class_one.mp3
[ BLOOD ON THE WALL ]
bro and sis duo Courtney and Brad Shanks and most of the time drummer Miggy Littleton (who also plays in White Magic. Smart co-ed indie rawk like you didn't think they made anymore. Rock 'n roll. "BOTW is a classic fucked up rock band, hitting the earth's atmosphere at just the right angle to produce all kinds of heat." - Time Out NY

[ SLEEPY DOUG SHAW ]
Doug is from the UK and plays really great bluesy folk guitar and sings, with touches of noise experimentalism, John Fahey moments. Doug sometimes plays in collaborations with friends like the fellas from Black Dice and Animal Collective, etc.
see y'all out!
