Lovers Lane @ CBGB Closing
Add to My Profile | More Videos
Some say New York rock is dead. The club scene is dead. When people go out, they want to hear DJ's... Obviously, these naysayers haven't experienced LoversLane, screaming out of downtown NYC with a ferocity unseen since the glory days of punk. Like a long-needed kick in the ass, their searing guitar-driven sound will wake up anyone who's been sleeping on New York rock. Yes, LoversLane has two songs on East Coast Commercial Radio rotation right now. And yes, they blew away a thousand-strong crowd at Webster Hall, New York's notorious citadel of musical sin. And you should probably know that they've played major festivals from Montreal to Memphis, as well as headlining European rock festivals with the bands Hey and Kazik. That's rock n' roll. Bragg sings like the love child of Roger Waters and Ric Okasek - on PCP. And Brother Reg works his axe like he's on a mission from god, spreading a gospel of fat licks and delicious tube distortion. Check out the songs "Falling Over" and "Holiday" - Lovers Lane are what everybody has been so desperately awaiting: pure, unrelenting 21st century Rock N' Roll.
