pics of HR & Jesse Malin @ Continental & a Friday review

Jesse was loitering outside the Murphy's Law show for a while but eventually came in to check out that show as well.

the rockers arent far - they're all over at Otto's Shrunken Head now with the great Frank Wood. Jon Law (Banana Fish) is over there all the time. also Lenny Kaye, some NY Dolls, tons of other greats, along with tons of great new bands. mostly Sunday nights that is. this isnt to pimp the place, it's just what came to mind when i read the post.

keep it alive!

Went to the show on the 17th and caught the second band of the night who were The Bullys. They were fantastic. Great songs, tight band and a rareity in that they have a great singer. Next up was Lenny Kaye and Tony Shanahan who played 7 songs which were nothing special.

Handsome Dick then came on with Ross The Boss, JP Patterson and Dean from Murphy's Law. Played five songs which included Haircut and Attitude, Master Race Rock, and Faster and Louder. Ross sounded fantastic and the band sounded good although the guys did not have an opportunity to rehearse that much. Left afterwards as I was at the Atlantic Ave. Antic to see the Fleshtones and I had to go to work early the next morning.

I was there on the last night. Walked in during Lenny Kaye's last song, which was a rambling but fun version of "Gloria."

Manitoba came on and told the crowd not to be sad that the Continental and CBGB are closing because he's still around, then kicked into "The Party Starts Now."

C.J. Ramone and Daniel Rey anchored a Ramones tribute set to close it out. C.J. was pretty unremarkable singing "Rockaway Beach" and "Beat On The Brat." Rey was more compelling doing "Poison Heart." Mick from L.E.S. Stitches did a very good "53rd & 3rd." Walter Lure of The Heartbreakers did a Ramones song and "Born To Lose." Set proper closed with "I Wanna Be Sedated," with Trigger on additional guitar. Encore was a cover of the Stones' "The Last Time" with Lure on vocals.

Not a life-altering experience, but it was fun.
