11.5.09 Hot Box, Air Waves, Frankie Rose and the Outs, Grass Widow @ The Woodser

I will sing a Vevee Girls songs because Frankie used to be in Veevee Girls. Now she's running with a new band called Frankie Rose and the Outs.

It's alright just leave the light on
I will never ask you why
Once you've gone remains the question baby
Where do you go? Where do you run?


Frankie Rose and the Outs played their first official show at The Woodser, an apartment next to the southside of Williamsburg bridge. Other bands sharing the same space included, Hot Box, Air Waves and Grass Widow.

Hot Box girl's were rocking out with matching outfits and I thought they were going to the disco. With too many bands of the same name I actually thought they are dudes. The vocals/guitars was head banging and throwing her head off to their songs. Girls rock! Air Waves' Nicole blew her amp before they even started and had to borrow one of the other bands amp which threw their sound off a bit. Nevertheless you can't be bored when Air Waves play. Frankie Rose and the Outs were in all black sexy outfits setting up their 5 piece orchestra with several box of effects. There is nothing wrong waiting for bands to set up their equipment, especially if you got a 5 piece band but it's disappointing when they play about 5 songs or less. Considering the time you waited and how long they played, you know what I mean. Hopefully those pedals will soon be put to some good use.
Grass Widow from SF are awesome although it can be tad bit annoying when you have some girl going crazy next to you. The first thing I notice about Grass Widow is their drum beats. I love how fast the beat is and how Lillian consistently hit the skins. They make good used of the lahhhhhhhhhh, lah lah, and ahhhhh without making you fall asleep.
