A high energy reunion set from The Sterns kept the TT’s Farewell Blowout hopping along in style.

And so begins my long, slow goodbye to T.T. The Bear’s Place, with The Luxury on the first night of the club’s final week…

Bong Wish @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 6.30.2015
Here’s Bong Wish. I’d tell you more, but I wouldn’t be able to describe the experience better than Sleazegrinder. Go read his profile of the band in The Noise and then you can check out these photos.

Zip-Tie Handcuffs @ T.T. The Bear’s Place 5.1.2015
On the day of the 2015 Rumble Finals, I went back to see what I wrote about Zip-Tie Handcuffs the first time I saw them. Here’s a quote: “The wall of distortion and close-spaced vocal harmonies whipped through the crowd melting faces like the spirits at the end of Raiders Of The Lost Ark.” Yup. Nailed it. First try. Zip-Tie Handcuffs are your 2015 Rock ‘N’ Roll Rumble Champions. I love it.

Nemes saved their best for last, with a performance that topped their already rock solid sets from the early rounds. Harmonies, energy and an abundance of hooks left their mark. They’ve got a big sound.

The flying dynamos known as The Static Dynamic opened the 2015 Rock ‘N’ Roll Rumble Finals with their tightest, punchiest, most energetic set of the event. I wasn’t sure that was even possible, but it was. It was an electric performance that showed why these wildcards got where they did.
