Rock'n'Roll

A couple of picked-up bits, from a week/weekend of kicking around local barrooms.

1. The Highway Matrons have broken up. The group played a farewell gig at their de facto home, Frederick's Music Lounge, last week.

2. Elvis Kennedy, guitarist and songwriter of the late, fab punk band the Dead Celebrities, is now living in California. Now with the group Shocker, featuring former L7 member Jennifer Finch, Elvis has rebranded himself Ronnie James. Apparently, the only place in town to secure Shocker merchandise is Tension Head, the new punk/metal record shop on Cherokee Street.

3. Enthused by the 800, or so, people that attended last week's reunion show, members of KINGOFTHEHILL are mulling another show.

4. Anybody else sick of seeing photos, stories and references of the Living Things in national publications? Hate to be a hater, but... down with charlatans!

5. The local band Seven has launched a site: www.sevenrocksyou.com.
