Hot Snakes Rock GAMH
I, and an unusually large posse, went to the Great American Music Hall last night to catch the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world, Hot Snakes. Opening was San Diego's The Peppermints, a band that my old band had played a show with up in Chico a long, long time ago. The Peppermints are pretty much the most punk band I can think of. Their music is difficult to listen to, they piss off at least half the audience everytime they play, and they rock my pants off. Read a review I wrote of their album here.
Next up was the Bay Area's own The Husbands, whose shake 'n' roll wowed the crowd with their down and dirty sounds.
Finally, Hot Snakes took the stage and just destroyed everything. John Reis rat-a-tatted his guitar while frontman Rick Froberg wailed and screamed ferociously on the mic. They opened with "I Hate the Kids," the lead track off Suicide Invoice and rocked many more tracks off their amazing debut, Automatic Midnight and their new album Audit in Progress. Check out a short interview with John Reis here.
After the show I forced Mesh on the kids outside the show. Hooray!
