Hooker and heat

There was some rocking action at the House of Targ at the tail end of August, with Onionface headlining the bill. Also on hand, ace 1970s protopunk revivalists Cherry Hooker and new local grunge gang River's End. River's End started things up; unfortunately I was a late arrival and only caught their last two songs. You'll recognize a couple of familiar faces, starting with Ty (also of The Ven Dreddies, Gnarly Brown and Pretty Little Death Machine).

Guitar action!

Sean hits!

Cherry Hooker really rocked the House with their Stooges-style rock. The glammy quartet not only sounds the part, they look it, too.
