I was coming from another show on Tuesday so I missed Mother Tongues' set at The Baby G. I did have an interesting conversation with a taxi driver about the business in the age of Uber. Luckily, one of the two bands I wanted to see had just started their set. NYC-based T-Rexstasy plays weird noise-pop, combining exuberance and hooks with performance art and noisy feedback. The sound system at this little venue wasn't great for their sound, but most of the fun still came through.

I first saw Peteborough's The Lonely Parade opened at a Sheezer show. As new graduates of Girls Rock Camp, they had a DIY garage band feel back then. Since then, I've seen them developed more of a rock edge. They needed to borrow a guitar amp because theirs died after a sound check. It probably gave up the ghost as this was the final stop of their tour and maybe due to Lonely Parade's style. This was loud, heavy, angry rock with burst of skittering hooks on songs like Bored. They need more fans bashing each other in a mosh-pit or at least flailing around.
