The Bouncing Souls @ Knitting Factory, NYC (5th of 6) | pics
DOWNLOAD: Joe Lies (MP3)
The Bouncing Souls haven't aged a bit and they still have the ability to put on one of the best live shows around. No stage antics - just good music that fans love, love enough to go completely nuts while its being performed. In fact, vocalist Greg Attonito barely needs to move at all. He's like the Frank Sinatra of the punk scene, calmly, and effortlessly, belting out songs that have the crowd thrashing around at the speed of light. This was especially evident when they played a cover of the Misfit's "Mommy can I go out and kill tonight". "We never played this before", he said, "and I don't know why - it's so easy". Chaos ensued.
This was the fifth (6/5/6) of six special sold-out shows at Knitting Factory in NYC leading up to 6/6/6, the release date of their new album.

I've gotten booted in the head one too many times (i.e., once) to bear any good will towards crowd surfers. Fuck 'em!

I've seen the Souls more than any other group in my show-going career... however I didn't make any of these shows. Saw them last at Irving on Thanksgiving Eve [great show]. It says a lot that they are one of the only punk groups I can get excited about as much now as I did when I was 14 [ten yrs ago]...
