The class of 77

Last week I tottered over to the Rainbow for some punk rock action, courtesy of The Diotones, Clash enthusiasts Police N Thieves and The Sonic Defense. The Diotones were on first with a slew of covers from punk rock's first wave and an original or two in the same style. Here's Alex and Steve!

On the beaten track

It's holiday time, and that means a slew of Christmas, New Year's and other seasonally themed shows going on - most of which I contrived to miss, but I did return to Targ for the first night of Seasons Beatings, featuring sets from a reunited Trapt, World War 4 and Uncooperatives - who were just starting things up as I headed down the stairs. Here's some guitar action with Greg!

Police N' Thieves were up next with some 1970s punk action - they cover The Clash, and they do it well. The combo features members of Jimmy George, Manpower and other well-known local combos. Here's Omar on guitar and Scott on bass!

The last time I saw The Trapt was 10 years ago at Babylon, alongside Flag of Truce, Honest Injun and Fluid Waffle. Unfortunately,like other photos of that era they can't be seen because I was using Photobucket as my image hoster and haven't been able to relocate them yet. Oh well, onto Remi's introduction, for which heonce again donned the white suit.
