Axe Tesco Up THE WAZOO What a weekend it was my friends, The Unnatural Axe 30th Anniversary Party and Lawless Records' record release of "Ruling The World From The Back Seat" Record Release Party. ….three incredible nights of awesome music….we will have a full account of each night within the week for you but I can tell you each night was truly awesome and I think I am now in love with Tesco Vee; The Meatmen were beyond incredibly entertaining and I was laughing so much that my jaw started hurting. It was really one of the best sets I have seen in ages!! And Tesco looks like a punk rock Rutger Hauer gone insane like the "skin job" Roy Batty in Blade Runner! oh yeah!! And that was after a super excellent set by The Queers with my of my other faves; Wimpy Rutherford singing lead…whew!!
The energy level for the whole night on Saturday was just through the freaking roof and they had the air conditioning on; miracle of miracles!!!
Friday was a fun night! Joey Boy of Red Invasion was out of control nervous the whole night which always makes for good entertainment and he got up and did two songs with Cheetah Chrome and The Axe which always makes for even better entertainment. Seeing Wiilie Alexander and The Boom Boom Band again was great and they did a really good set, and the general consensus is that Mr. Loosigian is one killer guitar player…whew!! The Italian bands on Friday and Saturday were great too. And when the Barton brothers get together for the Outlets the power on stage is up ten-fold! There's so much to rave about…you'll have to check back for our pages of photos and commentary…
