This was Chrissy Vaccaro’s last show with The Grinds. It may have been a bittersweet moment for the band, but that didn’t stop them from kicking out some serious punk ‘n’ roll.
The Acro-brats brought a healthy does of punk rock attitude to Nicole Tammaro’s Joan Jett Tribute night. The guys tore through these classic tunes with reckless abandon. Like last year, Erin Wickens jumped onstage to help the ‘Brats close out their set with a bang.
How have I not seen The Grinds before? I’ve seen everybody in the band perform before. I’ve intended to see them before. Thank you Rock ‘N’ Roll Rumble for finally getting me to see The Grinds. Their set to open Preliminary Night #6 proved what I always suspected. I really like The Grinds.

One of the cool things about Joan Jett is that she’s equal parts punk and rock. The Joan Jett tribute show that Nicole Tammaro put together at The Rosebud had gobs of each. A good chunk of the punk flavor came from The Acro-brats… er… I mean… Leather Snatch! These guys tore through Jett’s catalog with attitude to spare. Oh, and when they invited Chrissy Vaccaro and Erin Wikens up on stage… crazy fun!
