Most unique show: Hands down...TJ Kong's Halloween Costume Ball Rock & Roll Murder Show at Underground Arts in 2012. It was an amazing event and lineup to be a part of, it had some out of control costumes and to top it off it was definitely a booze filled experience put together by the talented Dan Bruskewicz. And I finally got to see a female version of Han Solo (Lynne Krohn - manager of the great and powerful Penrose).
Introducing: The Rivals
The Rivals have been rising to the top of my list as one of my favorite Rock and Roll bands to see around town nowadays. They have this amazing 70's blend of Soul, Blues and Rock all combined into one, that hits harder than Chris Brown's fist (yeah!!!). Levee Drivers have had the privilege of performing on the same bill as them a few times and they have never once disappointed me. The Rivals have three singer/songwriters who each have a very strong and unique voice which definitely keeps the show moving full force with their ability to take twists and turns here and there throughout they're live sets. Not to mention Bill Rose is a beast behind the drums.
On December 21, 2012 they released a full length 13 song album entitled Divine Lorraine, which knocked them up to their second LP so far.
This album is available on BandCamp: http://therivalsmusic.bandcamp.com/
The Rivals can next be found playing Fergie's Pub on May 22nd with Levee Drivers and The Gallerist.
