So last night I went to see the Bluetip Reunion show at Mercury Lounge in NYC and it was fan fucking tantastic. Let’s just say, if you live in London or Spain, see them this week or else you’ll regret it for a long time.

Opening up was Garrett from Texas is the Reason’s new band, Surrounding Areas. It sounded like a slowed down possibly, at times, country influenced, Texas. Good but not spectacular.

Next up was Retisonic, featuring Jason F in the band that chronologically followed Bluetip. That’s right 4 bands, two of them featuring Jason Farrell. This must have made the women swoon for sure.

Retisonic sounded great and were way better than I remember them being the first time I saw them a few years back.

Next up were the Netherlands. And don’t ask me how this band got on this show. The lead singer was wearing a cape. No joke. A cape. They were sort of goth inspired metal and I didn’t stay long to hear much from them. So let’s move on…

Finally, Bluetip came up and just blew everyone away. They sounded so tight and just so damn anthemic. They played almost every song I wanted to hear (besides Castanet) and really just fucking rocked it. Check out the picts.

SOME SONGS HERE.

see them before it’s too late.
