i saw these two bands, hell city kings and white rhino at rudyard's a couple months back. they tore the house down. not sure how well-known they are, but i hadn't heard of them. they came out with a split 7" that they gave away for free at the show. good music to party to.
Uh, if I tell you I won't be cool and feel smugly justified in being pretentious, bro. But honestly, because I'm feeling generous, check out Balam Acab. "Big Boy" was the song that got me into him.
