PNX News Correspondents, Jade Paris, and Yours Truly, stopped by the legendary Doll Hut, to attend a star studded showcase, featuring the talents of the Subtitles, Trotsky Icepick, and the Rikk Agnew Band. A mellow vibe was present throughout the evening as the crowd enjoyed great music and heavy socializing.
Unfortunately, we missed the opening bands, Nowhere and Krax but
the Subtitles (sans Eddie) delivered a great set and the Rikk Agnew Band, rocked the joint, with an impassioned cameo appearance by Rob Simundson, on vocals.
We were also highly impressed with Trotsky Icepick, lead by John Talley-Jones, (also frontman for the Urinals and 100 Flowers). Their wit and quality musicianship, greatly impressed the PNX Team, and this reporter plans further investigation of this superior ensemble.
In summary, these three bands offer more than just 3-chord thrash punk. Led by three "original era" punk musicians, their music draws from a variety of influences, offering a broader range of musical quality, and expertise, than that of many of their "latter day" imitators. Well worth the price of admission!
