National Rifle and Gas Station Chicken

honestly I don't know how many more of these no show shows I can take--Darin says not to worry about each individual show--just make sure the bands are fed and who is meant to show up will--but when the band is going house to house through the neighborhood asking total strangers to come to the show and I know we know tons of people who would love this music--well, it doesn't sit well with me--but I digress--Gas Station Chicken, 2 piece folk/metal by the fireside sounded fantastic, sounds that match the striking beauty of the afternoon, it's good to be outside--oh and this is sort of interesting, we had a walk up performer between the 2 acts, who was actually quite good (though rather strange)--but National Rifle from Philly (friends of Big Attack)with their sociopolitical punk rock, these guys are an unstopable force of nature--punk for sure but not above breaking it down into funk, into blues, a little bit of everything really, but with that punk insistence, you can't help but forget everything (even if just for 20 minutes) and fall into the fun--really go to myspace and check these guys out--I don't know if they will ever be back, this was truly not to be missed--but they never are--oh well, at least they were fed
