Johnny Powers - Rock Baby Rock It Festival: Continental Club Stage, Houston TX - July 21, 2012


[Detroit] Really classic 50s. Has history with Sun Records & Motown. Way too Elvis for me. Enjoyed the dark edge of some songs, the down walking melody of others, and the one with a stray cat strut. Ended with a song called Long Blond Hair, and made it out to be a big hit – I didn’t recognize it. Overall, the show had a very geriatric feel to it, with comments like “You’re a wonderful audience, by golly” and silly jokes like “You should have been at my last show… somebody should have been at my last show.” Backed by the same drummer and guitarist as last few bands. In the meantime, we enjoyed the short man who was making his girlfriend take pictures of him next to the back of a massively tall girl.
