Boston Rock Photos And Stuff
Thick Shakes rattled and rolled their way through a set of raucous garage rock numbers at the Davis Square Theatre. This reverb-o-rama was part of the Crash Safely benefit. Good rock for a good cause.
Thick Shakes got Rumble Semifinal Night #1 started with a bang. This outfit is a garage rock firecracker ready to take off some fingers. Pop! The songs came rapid fire, drenched in Farfisa and fuzz. The remnants of “Go Back To New York” and “Banned From The Laundromat” are still ringing in my head….
Semifinal Night #1 Winner: Bow Thayer And Perfect Trainwreck
Thick Shakes crammed 11 no-frills garage rock songs into their 30 minute set that kicked off Preliminary Night #2 of the Rock ‘N’ Roll Rumble. It was a bashy, trashy, Farfisa-drench fuzzfest and I loved it. Don’t stop – go go go!
Preliminary Night #2 Winner: Garvy J. And The Secret Pockets Of Hope And Resistance
Thick Shakes have a great garage rock sound. It’s dead on, but not put on. It’s just who they are. Guitar, bass, drums, Farfisa and some catchy tunes. I like it.
