Fighting for BRMC's Babies

You know how people say certain musicians are only hot because they are musicians? I definitely believe that can be true. Lundy and I were just at a kick ass rock show, up super-close, and towards the end we found ourselves arguing who deserved to have Robert's babies (Robert being the bassist of the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club). We realized how ridiculous we sounded because if we ever just passed him on the street we probably wouldn't look twice at him...no offense but its true. So we snapped back to reality just in time because Robert almost hit me in the head with the neck of his bass guitar!

No joke. Had I been a few inches taller (as I've always wished to be), he would've hit me. So that tells you how close we were. But so can these photos I took with my cell phone, thus the graininess...

See how the guitar is over the crowds heads!

Had a clear view from row two

Robert got right in our faces

Lundy and I saw BRMC last summer with Travis and Adam and we had the freakin' time of our lives. I knew nothing about the band going into the show so we just rocked out and danced in the back of La Zona Rosa. I didnt write a review of that show because I didnt know much about them at the time. But ever since that show when Lundy swiped their cd from the ladies room (finders keepers!) I've been addicted. Their name makes them sound like they should play during the Biker Rally, but they are just a rockin' Americana sound. So their return to Antones this month was a given for us...we had to go back. And somehow we managed to get up close.

My only complaints about being so close was that I think we lost some acoustics...I would've been frustrated if I didnt already know how the songs went. But we walked out at 12:30 on a Monday night energized and full of Rock n Roll in our blood....and it was still there in the morning because I got a speeding ticket while listening to the Baby 81 album on the way to work.

Song I have new appreciation for due to this concert: "Aint No Easy Way" from the Howl album
