Grease Over Glitter

Going into Wednesday night's Little Steven's Underground Garage Rolling Rock and Roll Show at Irving Plaza I expected another night of intense rock and roll but little did I know that after The Charms and Chesterfield Kings put on thrilling sets I would be slapped in the face by the country tinged punk rock of Supersuckers. Having never seen them live, my jaw dropped as the crowd threw their middle fingers in the air and shouted along with Eddie Spaghetti as he road his bass like a bull rider. This made me wonder if the sold out show was really in part to the New York Dolls return home or the brilliance of these greaser outlaws with fierce and fast guitars and attitude for days.
