Cock Rock is still alive

January 18th, 2003

Friday night was rehearsal night for the setbacks, but unfortunately Chris was delayed in getting there, and had to leave early. This combined with the low energy in the band, and the fact that we wrecked our bass amp at the show last week meant practice was a waste. The night however was not.

After "practice" Steve and I went to Babylon to see the Million Dollar Marxists and Jake Lovetart. We only saw the last song of the first band, but it was a two piece with one of the dudes from Bertha Does Moosejaw. Sounded good. M$M went on next, and rocked Babylon pretty hard. They played some new songs that aren't on their EP. Sounds like they are headed deeper into the good stuff. That album is great.

We were joined by Chris as the headliners hit the stage. That was Jake Lovetart, whom I've never seen but comprises two of the Double Pumpers and two members of Paperjack. If you've never seen these guys you should. The sound is frenetic shirtless Sabbath riffs, fronted by Jake Lovetart, a whorin' gamblin boozin' kind of guy. Carrying his bottle of "whuskey" on stage, and stumbling about through songs about balls and other enlightening things. It was amazing. It's hard to describe, but something everyone should see. Amazing music and very entertaining.
