Some BRMC Pics From Bumbershoot
















Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's
set started with a few sound problems, but they rebounded nicely and performed admirably. Aint No Easy Way and Whatever Happened To My Rock and Roll (Punk Song) received the biggest ovations. Also included in the set were Weapon of Choice, Spread Your Love, Love Burns, Berlin, American X and a few more. BRMC, while I dig them anywhere, are much more suited for a dark and smoky room like the Showbox as opposed to a large outdoor venue. However, I will take them any way I can get them. By the way, their third album (Howl, a gospel and country themed record) will definitely be on my best of the decade list.
You can listen to BRMC's second show (mainly acoustic) on KEXP's streaming archive. Just click on the link and type 5:37 and September 2nd for show date. Evidentally KEXP had turn away hundreds of people because the show was too packed. Read a full review of the acoustic show here.
The Seattle Weekly BRMC andx Kings of Leon slideshow is here. Some good pics.
