A rapidamente review of Trail of the Dead at Irving Plaza

Hola amigos. I just got back last evening from a very busy press trip to sunny ¡Acapulco! [report forthcoming, natch], whereupon I was whisked away to a ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of the Dead show by my old man (I mean my bf, not my dad. I'm pretty sure BK is not into Trail of the Dead; well, maybe their early stuff). I hadn't been exposed much to these young laddies, but they obvs have the best band name ever, so even though my tired ass had to be propped up Weekend at Bernie's style, I had to hand it to these young lads. A stonerly rocking good job, Mick Mars Junior all hunched facing the speaker, gangly Thurston Moore Junior, and rafters-climbing Eddie Vedder Junior, whatever your real names are (I don't care what they are).
