MUSIC: Hard Nips Rips Apart Local 121
Saturday, January 12, 2013
Brooklyn's All-Asian garage punk band Hard Nips were the grand finale at Local 121's Speakeasy this weekend.
Hardbodies
Hard Nips' fellow Brooklynites Hardbodies went up on stage with their new wavy glam rock and it felt like the reincarnation of T.Rex was happening before your eyes. "(She's) Flexible", "Target Practice", "I Likey", "Feel Some Bodies", "The Great Hereafter", a cover of Judas Priest's "You Got Another Thing Comin'", "Rockin' Buddies" and "Still The Best" brought some genuine rock & roll that set the mood. Next time these guys hot your neighborhood, you better go see Hardbodies and rock your socks off.
Vudu Sister
One of the best acts that has been tearing up Providence like wildfire, Vudu Sister was up next. Music that will hit you and having begging for more, the quartet featuring Alex Garzone on becoming the epicenter on drums, Damien Puerini's lead guitar pulling off spine-shocking solos like a madman, Keith McCurdy on his rhythmic guitar and powerful voice along with his dad Chris being the backbone on bass possess rock & roll brilliance that you can't ignore. "Revival", "Kid Heroine", "Household Items", a version of The Vaselines' "Molly's Lips", "Got No Time", "Dead Man's Pockets", "One Of A Kind", a rendition of Joe Fletcher & The Wrong Reasons' "I Never" and "Loverboy" had people movin' and groovin' in a frenzy. Vudu Sister is currently working on putting out their second album Household Items out later this year, one of the most anticipated records to come out of The Creative Capital in along time.
