Aftermath: The Hangouts 7" Record Release

On Friday, we headed to Bryan to check out The Hangouts, Something Fierce, and The Wrong Ones at The Hangouts' record release.

The Wrong Ones started things off the right way. This band describes itself as "70's chainsaw guitar punk rawk," and while I admit that I am not entirely sure what that is supposed to sound like, I think it is probably accurate. The band had an interesting cast of characters - with, you know, charisma. The singer moved around and hopped up on the bar while singing. I really enjoy singers that don't just stand there. Unfortunately, we didn't get a photo of The Wrong Ones in action, but you can feast your eyes on 'em on Facebook by clicking here: Click this, suckers! You can also catch some of the members in the photos of the other bands at our new Facebook page here.

Next up was Something Fierce. Though they were suffering from sleep deprivation (they had been on tour for a few weeks), they put on a hell of a show. People danced and even got a little rowdy. Because we were good, they graced us with a bonus song at the end of their set: "Come for the Bastards." Yay! Their new stuff is excellent, but I am a sucker for the oldies.

Last and certainly not least, The Hangouts hung out like never before. I would like to point out that these are some of the raddest people - nice as can be! Niki Pistols is outright adorable:

Anyway, they put on a damn fine show. As usual, many sweaty boys and men ended up shirtless:

If you have never seen these bands in action, I suggest you do so. You can check them out at the 4th annual Loud!Fest, as a matter of fact!
