Another perfect day at the Williamsburg Waterfront. Spectacular views, great crowd, free stuff, running into old friends, and a whole bunch of bands, all for free. Silverghost was on first and although will never achieve what the Von Bondies were, I’m still clearly not over my crush on Marcie Bolan. Very excited to see Jeff The Brotherhood again as they were one of the highlights at SXSW. Despite Jake battling a fierce illness, they brought the rock. And then the Obits came on and put on a boring set of new songs. They didn’t even play the old songs that are killer, and their other guitarist gets more and more annoying each outing. What was more annoying was Murder City Devils taking forever to take the stage. They looked promising and brought a lot of energy into the crowd, but the music just wasn’t there.
