Hey everyone!

Went to the Bottle Rockets Show at the Ironhorse in Northhampton, MA on Wed. (10/14). They blew the roof off! High energy straight ahead rock from beginning to end. They did quite a few songs from new one, Lean Forward. I felt the best songs were Love Like A Truck and Radar Gun. Closed the show with a great cover of Call Me The Breeze. If you have never seen them and they will be stopping in your town, check them out. It's a show you don't want to miss.
