Petty Morals @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 4.25.2014

Classy, fun and packing a punch, Petty Morals kicked the Rumble Finals party into high gear. Their songs are infectious. They worked in a shout out to Amy Douglas of Feints* that morphed into “Rainbow In The Dark.”** They made sure the TT’s crowd was having a good time. Petty Morals made a lot of new friends and fans at this year’s Rumble.

* They did a partial cover of “Make Love To Me” by Amy’s other project, SPF 5000.

** Which in turn morphed into Petty Morals’ staple Rumble cover, “Neutron Dance.”

Fit To Be Tied @ Radio 9.22.2012

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: any day I get to hear a Barbusters tune is a good day. Fit To Be Tied was back for another go at the Joan Jett catalog. They made me a very happy man (again). I’ll never tire of hearing this crew cover “Light Of Day” and “This Means War.”* Throw in an everybody-sing-’cause-y’all-know-the-words version of “I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll” and you have the perfect end to another night of revelry put together by Nicole Tammaro. Well done, everybody.

* I’m still waiting for Fit To Be Tied to cover The Hunzz’s “Rabbit’s Got The Gun” to complete the Joan-Jett-in-Light-Of-Day holy trinity.

Tijuana Sweetheart @ The Rosebud Bar 7.16.2011

Don’t mess with Tijuana Sweetheart. They want what they want and they want it now. They might even know karate. I’m not kidding. You’ve been warned.
