#700

November 11, 2025

A Gulls Window Circus rock show that starts off in a pop melodic mode, then has a brief foray into Downtown art scene rock, before settling on punky stuff that keeps the melodies strong even as the loudness goes up. Special attention to the Angel Corpus Christi cover of Theme From Taxi Driver, Robert Gordon’s Eddie Cochran cover, Chris Stamey’s Beach Boys cover, Jeff Dahl’s Dead Boys cover (and Dead Boys themselves with the Cheetah Chrome mix of Big City), The Damned’s version of Help, Eddie And The Hot Rods with MC5’s Rob Tyner as lead vocalist, Peter Bagge’s band Can You Imagine?, Defunkt’s track In The Good Times, and the Dictators/BOC-related band David Roter Method.
