Las Rosas at Mercury Lounge
Las Rosas are probably my favorite local band right now. Their combination of rock-n-roll energy and old-school pop catchiness is awesome enough, and their sense of humor makes them even better. Gotta love a song about panicking after you lose the cat you were supposed to be watching. Give them a listen on BandCamp and then go like them on Facebook, 'cause they're seriously under-appreciated.

The Reigning Sound at Brooklyn Bowl
Well there we go, after this Summer's relatively soulful gig at the South Street Seaport the Reigning Sound switched their focus back to rock-and-roll. In general, that is. Greg Cartwright also did a song solo for the first time that I can recall.

Bloodshot Bill at Brooklyn Bowl
Is every rock-n-roller in Canada like this? 'Cause if so I'm moving there. Check out his sounds on his Facebook band page (and nowhere else, apparently).

The Flamin' Groovies at Club Europa
Finally I get to see these guys live... and the mics are fucked up. Lovely. Oh well, I still had fun.

Wooden Shjips at The Knitting Factory
Wooden Shjips hail from San Francisco, where they know their psychedelia. It's a lifestyle for some folks out there, folks who look exactly the guys in these photos.
