the Order of the Phoenix

DID YOU READ THE DISCLAIMER AT THE BEGINING OF THE LAST BLOG SAYING TO READ THE BLOG BEFORE THAT (read enough disclaimers to scare you away yet)--this was supposed to be an early show, but plans fall apart right--everyone ran late, i myself didn't get home from erranding until almost 6:30 (show is supposed to start at 5:30) and there were only 2 people and no bands-but eventually things pick up speed--eventually we start with the Black Birds, from Canada, who had a short and very intense set (except for 1 broken string which stretched things out a bit) very hard, very loud, very fast--which juxtaposed very strangely with Lexington's laid back folkrock rockers Rain Junkies, who had a great set, very mellow--the surprise hit of the night (expect the unexpected at the shack) B.B. Salmon, who dress in costume--2 girl singers singing in harmony over garage rock beats, reminds me of His Name Is Alive--definitely check these kids out, they're from New England, but i have a feeling they will be back--then we were lucky enough to see the combination of B.B. and Nuclear Power Pants into a super group known as the Order of the Phoenix--more costumes--giant day glo shark heads, rapping co-joined twin MC's--larger than life electro punk--disco black lights--these kids pull out the stops--so much music so little time--tragically, due to the late start of the show (and the early start of my days, 5:23 comes impossibly early) i had to miss the Goat Bell, who i believe were the ones who contacted Darin about having a show in the first place--alas--still, i had a blast--we are sitting on the best kept secret in town--rocking it out on the underground--we invite you to come around--never know what be going down--until then--keep rocking
