I went for another round of Palma Violets in Brooklyn last night, this time, at Glasslands Gallery. Their first show was enjoyable, but their second show was a tighter performance. Not sure if nerves were involved on Saturday, but the band definitely seemed more comfotable and at ease this time around.
Many peoples qualm with modern music is that rock is dead. Palma Violets are my counter offer. They may not be changing the game, but they are making rock music enjoyable again. Song after song of no bullshit rock and roll was pumped out of these 4 Londoners, with an attitude reminiscent of The Libertines. Are they worth the buzz? Who cares. I had a great time watching them rock out, and that’s all the matters.
Getting to hear their songs a second time around made me realize that they got a solid arsenal of rock tunes. Hopefully all of them translate well on their debut album 180.
Hollerado gave a lively opening set with plenty of feel good hooks, and plenty of stories. I caught the tail end of Brooklyn natives The Teen Age set and enjoyed what I heard.
