Where were you last night?

// January 14th, 2007 // Comments // Dani Happenings

If you were any kind of smart, you were at FBI seeing one of the best shows to grace our town in a long time – thanks to local music promoter RockNHouston. RNH arranged a great lineup of classic rock tribute bands, including Abbey Rode, a Beatles tribute, Already Gone, an Eagles tribute, and Black Dog, a Led Zepplin tribute.
Lots of Houston rock luminaries were in the crowd, including the entire Straightfork lineup, Bobby Blotzer of Ratt, Gregg Gill and Rob Howl of Midnight Circus, Jeff Clifton, Chuck McFadden, and Trey Gadler of Azrael’s Bane, Randy of Shining Force, and Todd Lee and Kevin Smith of Assylim. Capital Volume was also represented. Of course, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention all the photographers that were in the crowd, including Jackee Clifton, and took-the-night-off shutterbugs Allison Gil and Alpha Settle. Oh, and me, natch.

I took a ton of pictures, and it looks like I’ll have plenty of time to work on them since it’s strongly rumored that we’ll be having an ice storm here in Houston. And since I am Southern (Yee-haw!!) all the way, I have no clue how to drive on ice, so I’m keeping my fellow Houstonians safe by staying off the roads and in front of my computer. (Provided we have electricity.) Will post more photos soon.

Alan Lewis of Vertigo, a U2 tribute band

Originally uploaded by Daniesq.


It’s been a busy week, and there’s been a lot of good bands in town. Last week was also busy. This is a shot of Alan Lewis of Vertigo, a Chicago-based U2 tribute band. They were good, although, as a former hardcore U2 fan, I thought that the singer was a bit off with his timing and/or lyrics. Small potatoes, though. They put on a fantastic show. The band was tight, and the lead singer has Bono down pat. If The Concert Pub had used the stage lights, it would have been a perfect show.

If you don’t have a good time at an Abbey Rode show, something is wrong with you. Abbey Rode is becoming as much known for their audience participation as they are for their spot-on performance of Beatles tunes.
If you haven’t checked them out yet, you’re missing out on a great time. Grab a gaggle of friends the next time they play and come on out for a good time. Bring your bubbles!

John Adams of Jailbreak, a Thin Lizzy tribute band in Houston, Tx.Well here’s one from the whoopsie! file. I was going through photo directories so that I could do some archving, and came across shots of Jailbreak from a gig in April that had never even been processed.

So here they are. Now I’m off to look for more lost goodies.
