Slim Jim And The Mad Cows @ Johnny D’s 1.26.2013

Slim Jim And The Mad Cows call what they do “Country Fried Metal Rock.” Makes sense. What else would you call playing classic heavy tunes in the style of the old country legends?* These guys had me grinnin’ from ear to ear.

* Turns out this also could have been called “Maybe My Favorite Thing In The Whole World.”

Slim Lizzy @ Radio 1.4.2013

How do you sell out a show at Radio? Well, starting the night with Slim Lizzy certainly doesn’t hurt. Watching these guys nail the Thin Lizzy sound on the anniversary of Phil Lynott’s passing was pretty special.* Oh, how I love guitarmony.

* I guess when the show was booked no one realized the significance of the date. Sometimes awesome things happen by chance.
