The N.E.C. with Jovantaes
Saturday, January 30 at Al's Bar
You might know the N.E.C. as that band from Atlanta that comes through Lexington a couple times a year, plays a show that is somehow connected to Reid Small (guitarist/vocalist Cyrus Shahmir is a Bowling Green grade school buddy of his), absolutely slays, and then sticks around to party hard with the hipsters all night. Admittedly, I've had to miss their past couple shows, which makes me doubly to triply excited for this one. The N.E.C. is psychedelic garage rock done right. Their songs and recordings are tight, professional and sound great (I play the hell out of Million Minks on my radio show) but their live show is a different beast altogether - loud, unabashed, fast and generally raucous. This show is a CD release party for their newest album, "Is" which may be their best stuff yet. BUY IT. Or at least go the show.
Ever-changing, always awesome local acid rockers Jovantaes share the bill, along with the Gudwalls and Trailblazer. All ages. Nevermind the Northside Dance Party for the (oh so mature) 21+ crowd coincides next door at Sidecar circa midnight.
