rock and roll lives and it loves you. you, too. but not you. sorry. you it loves, and you as well. not so much that guy over there. no, not not the guy with the eye patch, it loves the shit out of him, the other guy it doesn’t love, the guy in the dockers. rock and roll hates dockers. but it really, really loves you, sweetie, because you’re so darned sweet and cute. rock and roll loves you best.
if los duggans isn’t playing a gig at the same time, when the dexateens take the stage they are the greatest living rock and roll band.
this is not typical kevin casper hyperbolic rhetoric.
i’m dead serious. they’re the second greatest living rock band. i saw them at chelsea’s saturday night, and i speak the truth.
swagger. early 70s. three guitars (one of which is cut from that beautiful cloth that produced ronny wood and mark ford. here he is:
that guitar player with the country bends and the crazy warm tone and the taste and the taste and the flair and the taste). a little bit of that sloppy golden smog beauty, some punk energy. great songs. great voices. southern as hell. swagger.
don’t believe me?
go to their website. download their new record ‘lost and found’ for free.
i bought 2008’s ‘hardwire healing’ on vinyl at the show. they give away the digital and sell the vinyl for $10 (which is how god intended it to be).
if you don’t like it i’ll buy you some meat sticks.
