The Dents @ Radio 10.12.2012

The Dents were the final act of the Bands For Babs benefit. They closed out the event with a snappy set that went over big with the Radio crowd.

The Dirty Truckers @ Moe’s Lounge 10.12.2012

Hot, loud, sweaty and a little rambunctious could describe just about any Dirty Truckers gig. Confining the band and their cohorts to Moe’s Lounge made it inevitable at Bands For Babs.

Rule @ Radio 10.11.2012

Old school metal for a good cause. Rule closed out the first night of Bands For Babs at Radio with a blistering set. You know, typical Rule awesomeness.

The Charms brought their electric sound to Moe’s Lounge as part of the Bands For Babs benefit. Something about garage rock played in a basement always feels right.

Jenny Dee & The Deelinquents @ Radio 10.11.2012
