About Me

"One of my biggest thrills as a roving music photog is hearing good buzz on a new band, then catching them live and they not only live up to but exceed expectations. This was the case tonight with one of my new faves Billbones..............Over the past six months Billbones has gradually evolved into one of the most consistently fun & hard rockin' acts in NYC. The band mixes together their own blend of New York via London underground rock with hard chargin' cover tunes & a take no prisoners stage show. Most shows you go see in the city people in the crowd just kinda scratch their chins and slowly nod along. But at a Billbones show you might see a 40 year old wino holding a flask while doing the twist in the front row or a couple of barely legals hooting along as they dance on a couch - its come as you are anything goes. Theres no posing here, just a band playing "get up, have a beer, and shake your ass!" music and the crowds seem to get larger & more energetic with every show. The band definitely vibes off their energy on stage steadily gaining momentum song by song. If you like to party & listen to Rock N' Roll this may be the band for you." - Nev Brown
