Rich's R'n'R Rants & Raves
By Rich Coffee
5/17/13
Wow! What a totally fun night of terrific
rock’n’roll! Favorites has now morphed into the Dive Bar, fittingly, as
it is run by people who worked the old (original?) Dive Bar.
Anyone who’s ever read this blog knows that I am a huge fan of Tinglerz
and their guitarist Kei, so I had to check out Tiger Sex. In this
project, Kei simply mangles his guitar while Kelly takes over the vocal
chores like a raw Joan Jett or like the “little girl with a big voice”
popularized in the 80’s by bands like Tex & the Horseheads. The
rhythm section is dynamite and once again, Kei has a band who knows how
to write real songs. They have no problem playing different tempos and
are right at home with a slow, smoldering, heavy blues (that sounded
like a mix of the Stooges “I Need Somebody” and the Jeff Beck Group or
something!) as they are with a high energy punk rocker. Their choice of
covers gives a good indication of their influences and style - “Cherry
Bomb” by the Runaways and “I Wanna Be Your Dog” by the Stooges. Kei rips
it up in the best Ron Ashton/Wayne Kramer style - cool riffs with
plenty of noise and wah-wah and just teetering on the edge of chaos - as
r’n’r always should! He really is one of my fave guitarists in town and
with this excellent rhythm section and dynamic lead singer, he has an
amazing new project.
Once again, Vegas proves that there is some real rock’n’roll here! Make
sure you get out and see some of the great bands that we have!
