Hostile City, you know I got you where I want you.

Something's not going 100% according to plan if your headliner doesn't take the stage until 1:30, but hell yes when Beretta 76 finally took the stage at Sugar Town on Saturday it was exactly the sure shot of caffeine I needed. Braving an ornery microphone that flirted with feedback and bit back with occasional electric shocks, Camille Escobedo belted out some hellacious punk energy herself. You know, it's funny: between songs, she sounds like she's losing her voice, always, but when she sings it's like the strongest thing on earth. Great show.

Stay tuned to CP for a weird March Madnessy thing we're doing called City Paper vs. Y-Rock Philly Rock Shootout or something like that. I don't wanna give it all away now, but there was a draft and we picked Beretta 76. This will make more sense later.

More on Beretta 76.

It was nice to see you Pat and thanks so much for covering Beretta 76 here. Apologies for the delays. Those are pretty uncharacteristic of my events but we had many equipment snafus. What can I say, rock and roll can be messy business. Don't be a stranger!
