"[Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.] played a short set of about 8 songs, most of them from their released EP from this year. They have a new album coming out this spring and it's just in time since they only have "like 3 CDs left," as the lead singer said during the show. They played a new track and it's definitely darker than the previous release, maybe they're spending too much time being depressed and lonely on the road...More pictures, and a video of the mask part, of Friday night's show, below.......Live, they are quite entertaining. They dress in Nascar race suits and look like they're headed to get some "tires to the face" at a local track. They have some great lighted decorations that add to their fun showmanship. You can see it in "Vocal Chords" below, and it by far was my favorite song of the night.
Of course there were some entertaining moments when they invited some buddies to share the stage. They're definitely having fun with being musicians. [notes by spark]"

Yeah, that 1st pic isn't creepy at all.

surprised I hadn't heard anything about the Tony Castles in a while. Those guys are bound to blow up sooner or later.

Very glad all of these bands will be gone in a year, once Bushwick rules over Williamsburg.

^ It seems like they'll just migrate to there instead of go away, unfortunately.

Unfortunately, 7:35 is correct-o-mundo. Why are hipsters so afraid to leave their 7-8 square mile coop?
