The Ramones of the day

I'm surprised that The Ramones hadn't received the treatment at Punk Rock Covers ... perhaps some were reluctant to tackle arguably the first punk rock band. Fortunately the folks from Asile felt no such fear and gave a pretty solid rendition of the old wun-two-three-faw.

Wiggy action!



More wiggy action!



Gripping action!



Leather-jacketed action!



Rhythm section action!



As the show went along the band kept getting pushed back by the raging crowd.



The whole lot!



Singalong and audience-participation action!



The end!



A swell set.
