Well, I knew it was going to be a solid line-up at the Resident. Two of the bands: Starcrawler and Spare Parts for Broken Hearts are on my lists of bands to catch.
Starcrawler opened up the night. I just have this feeling that this band is going to break out. The lead singer makes you think of an R rated version of a Dr. Seuss book. This band is young and will make you feel like you're in the middle of The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I suspect their guitars are borrowed. At the end of their set, the lead guitarist took his guitar up high like he was going to smash it on stage. He then looked over to the side at what I'm guessing is their manager and gave a sly smile. Note: I'm not sure I'd want to shake the lead singer's hands after their set.
Up next was
No Girlfriends. Four gals who rock it. The drummer flings her hair back like the best of them. The lead singer controls the stage. They had one humorous moment. The lead singer put the microphone in front of the guitarist. This was obviously some insider joke. The guitarist looked befuddled and refused to sing.
Spare Parts for Broken Hearts showed how a set should be done. The lead singer bassist/guitarist never let up for a moment. Then the other bassist/guitarist (the two switch) was just so cool on stage. Then their drummer just sweated out the set. This band leaves it all out there on stage.
