Rob Dickenson, the singer of the incredibly famous 80s band, Catherine Wheel, is back on tour. He looks a bit older but his voice is fucking incredible. I got some video that I’ll try to post later, but in the meantime, here’s photos:

Even if the Young Knives sucked (which they most certainly don’t) I would go see them for the in-between song banter alone. The brothers, Henry Dartnall and House of Lords, appear to hate each other and find the stage a prime time to point out the flaws of the other in ways that basically shock and awe.

I love love LOVE the Futureheads. They remind me of bands that I would’ve discovered while going through my older brother’s vinyl collection, sandwiched between his Jam and Clash records. Their new single, “The Beginning of the Twist” can be downloaded for free (and legally) here. Their live show is filled with a ton of spastic energy and coordinated dance moves that makes you wish watching them would never end.

Opening band, Chief, are one of my new favorite bands. They all live in NYC for college I think, but they’re from LA. When I watch them I feel transcended and stoned (even when not smoking the reefer)… they just have that nice sunny LA-vibe that is such a delight to hear in NYC. Their sound is a mix of Kings of Leon and Tom Petty. You can hear their songs, and download their songs on their myspace.
