Mr. Biggers and I run into Keith (AKA -- Mr. Back In Black) prior to this Halloween show. Even though he's not interested in any of the bands, Mr. BIB decides to go and take advantage of the $1.00 domestic beers. As I order my second Budweiser, the waitress informs us that the dollar special is only on weekends, and our beers are mistakenly sold to us at that price. This does not sit well with Mr. BIB, and he goes on a false-advertising rant. BIB is refunded his money and leaves. Later, Keith.Jab come out with a sound similar to any band on Fat Wreck Chords. Biggers knows a couple of their members.
.007 are next and fall into the category of "bands with a James Bond-inspired name that are ska-influenced." Their highlight is an energetic version of "No Woman No Cry."
Lostribe take the floor and play a solid set of fast punk rock. This is my second time seeing this band, and "Skateboarding, Chicks, Forties and Blunts" sounds damn good live.
After an overblown costume contest that "Supergirl" (cute as hell) does not win, Sloppy Seconds run through an altogether too short list of songs (mostly from their 1989 album Destroyed), but at least they play "I Don't Wanna Be A Homosexual." New tracks include "I Love Lesbians (So Why Don't They Love Me?)," and "I Love Her Body (But Her Record Collection Sucks)." Both fit well with their "junk-rock" motif.
A different sort of tribe (Stone House Tribe) invades Peabody's the next evening, but I'm not a witness to their ritual. Cover bands suck!
