Brookline/SLR/Railroad to Alaska at Detroit Bar

SLR started the evening with a cool set. Sean was joined by regular cohort Justin (Railroad to Alaska, Honeypie) on guitar for the excellent 'Spanish Boots' and shared vocals on a brilliant version of 'Demolition 45'... Other highlights in the set were the perennial crowd pleaser 'We still love them' and the glam/rave anthem 'Venus de milo'...

Next up were Railroad to Alaska, featuring the aformentioned Justin, plus Derek (Honeypie, SLR sax player) and Vince (Brookline, Honeypie and sometimes SLR bass player.) RRTA were excellent - some Zeppelin riffs with a hint of Jeff Buckley in the chord structures and Justins vocal. If this is rock music for hipsters then sign me up...

Brookline were great too. They played a couple of catchy new songs at the beginning of the set and then played through most of their new EP... The sound for all the bands was really great - props to the sound guy at Detroit Bar...
