Past tense: The Fortunate Sons

Once more, it's back to the distant past at the Dominion Tavern ... this time we'll be viewing some photos of Tricky Woo's opening act, The Fortunate Sons. For those not following along at home, The Soms were something of a brother band to The Dead City Rebels, with which they shared a few members. You might call them The Uranium Comeback of their day, since their shows were few and far between but remarkably potent.

But first, some drinking!



Austen rocks the Flying V! (You can just make out Rebel Rene and Heather Osborn, drummer for Holy Hell, off to the right.)



Chris rocks the sax.



Nathaniel Hurlow - recently seen on this blog with The Band Whose Name Is A Symbol - and J.P. Sadek (Tokyo Sex Whale, Loviatar) fret and drum.



More Nate!



Rock stance action!



Nate's brother Ben handles the low-end. Nowadays he plays guitar in Gunsmoke.



Guitar action!



Rhythm section action!



And so on!



The view from the side of the stage.



Austen sings!



Bonus Ben!



Extra Nate!



More J.P.!



The end!



I'll have to dig out their LP sometime.
