The Roaring 20's

The last month more than deserves a blog, for all of the silly, ridiculous, and outlandish things that Ross and I have been a part of or done. Thus, Sounds of Thunder has been born. We will have a brief period of back reviews of shows and other such nonsense, and will continue to post throughout our future trials and tribulations through the gut of the indie scene.

Anyway... In recent news, fan favorites The Roaring 20's won a battle of the bands last night at NYU's Kimmel Center in Washington Square. The turn out of the show, sponsored by the NYU Ski and Snowboard Club and accordingly dubbed "Yellow Snow", was small to say the least. The audience amounted to 20 people, and thats being generous. Although we were late to the show, which began at 8, and missed one band and half of a set by David Byrne, we did not miss the main attraction. The Roaring 20's came out and commenced the rock, with lead man Karl Fey wearing a 'fro wig and Kevin making ridiculous body movements on the drums. TR20s wooed the crowd with fan favorites such as "Graveyard Hot Tub", and "Plane Crash into a Train Wreck". The new bassist, Ryan, did a good job of taking over where Cassie left off. Although he did use sheet music, no one could think lesser of him for it, for he has some nice, big, high heel shoes to fit into. Pictures of the show have been added to the 20's webpage. And before you ask, yes, that was Ross and I playing Super Smash Bros. Melee which was being projected on the screen behind them.

At the end of the night, the ballots were counted, and of course, our darling Roaring 20s came out on top. For the evening, they made some money, got some free Thai food, and got two kids to help bring their equiptment back to the Lower East Side. We were able to stick around the Fey's apartment, where, at the prodding of Kevin, Karl gave us a teaser of some new material, some of which they will be premiering at Pianos on November 10th. Be there or be under 21. It should be a spectacular show, with The Roaring 20's playing with the great Harlem Shakes. It should be most excellent.
