Rich's R'n'R Rants & Raves
Anyone who knows me or who has ever read this blog knows that I am a huge fan of local band Tiger Sex and their wild guitarist Kei (formerly of the Tinglerz, another local fave). Kei and Kelly have teamed up and created this punk'n'roll combo that is tearing it up all over Vegas and the west coast.
Joined by powerhouse drummer Chris, they now have a new bassist (didn't catch his name and I don't see it on their FB page - get on that guys!) who isn't quite as maniacally active as their previous 4-string mangler, Brian, but he holds down the fort with Chris so that Kei and Kelly can go crazy! She's not afraid to get down'n'dirty - literally, in this case, as the floor was still a mess from last week's Mapes show! She opened the show in a rather conservative (but cool) suit and literally tore most of it off by the end of the set!
They have several new songs since the last time I saw them and some cool covers, such as the Stooges "TV Eye" and Johnny O'Keefe's "Wild One", by way of Iggy & Joan Jett. As with the best in punk'n'roll, they're not one-dimensional and mix us speeds, rhythms and guitar tones throughout the set, giving us variety while never sacrificing power.
Lovers of Detroit r'n'r, Johnny Thunders and groups like the Hellacopters need to check out these cats and kitten! You won't regret it!
