I would've liked to have seen them this clearly. Way too much smoke when I saw them but still a solid set.

The more I'm learning about him, the more I'm enjoying this find. I'll have to head back to the shop to see if I can find more stuff he was involved with.

Well, I didn't realize that he wrote Bat out of Hell, so the resemblance makes sense.

Took a trip to the record shop to look for some interesting used stuff. I think I found something 😅

The shop owner said "it's like Meatloaf." She wasn't wrong.

I haven't been able to catch them when they've come through Houston, but I'd love to catch a smaller show like this with them.

Big fan of vinyl matching the album art. And I agree with your assessment. The guitar work really stands out, and I liked getting surprised by some of the pretty heavy parts.

it's time to support media directly so they don't fall into the hands of fascists, the replies to this post have additional great news media i recommend supporting

onion person @junlper.beer · 21d

it looks like the only way to have honest media is directly support them. i currently subscribe to WIRED and rolling stone, and about to subscribe to 404 media. any other WOKE and antifa media orgs i should support?

I had always missed them whenever they came through before, but I finally had the chance this time. They are so good live. It's also crazy how many good shows Indy and random spots in Indiana get that we miss out on in Houston. It definitely wasn't like that when I lived there.
