December 10, 2011: Sons of Hercules, Bad Lovers, Tempo Tantrums

It had been almost 9 months since I saw a Sons of Hercules show and damn, did I miss them. They played a great show at the 29th St. Ballroom with the excellent Bad Lovers and the always exuberant Tempo Tantrums! 3 of my faves! It was beautiful.


Here are some PICS of the show...

December 3, 2011: House Party and Frontier Bar

The party @Eric Unusual's house for Suzanne, Eric and Jillian's birthday was a total rocker, courtesy of Queen St., We Know Where You Live, Bad Lovers and the Flash Boys! Scroll down after the pics for some video from the party.

My rock and roll nightcap was provided by the Ugly Beats @Frontier Bar.
I missed the Strange Attractors' set and most of The Ripe's set @Frontier. One of these days I'll figure out how to be in two places at once.

December 2, 2011: Hotel Vegas and Beerland

Early show (too early) @Hotel Vegas. Unfortunately, I missed most of Air Traffic Controllers' set at said early show (dang!), but on the plus side, Rhett and Dean and the French Inhales helped me move on.

And so, move on I did... to Beerland to see Gospel Truth, Cause for Applause and Natural Child. Two great shows in one night. It was a beautiful thing indeed.


Here are some PICS for your perusal...
