Roll Away the Stone


Yes it's a Mott the Hoople song. In the story of the season, it's also a metaphor for re-invention, redemption and resurrection. The 3 R's, which you can achieve a lot of different ways. Music is one of them, so why not come out to Surf Club Live Saturday night for the "Resurrection Before the Resurrection" show. I keep telling you that the Surf Club is not like any other place. Even though it evokes an old-school honky tonk, it's by no means a throwback. The sounds, the crowd and the Salvadoran neighborhood guys playing pool let you know the Surf Club is very much NOW. Same goes for Saturday night's line-up. Tru Fax and the Insaniacs have been around for several decades, but even though I hear they will unearth some songs from the vault, this is not a living-in-the-past band. No one has ever accused Puptent of being a nostalgia trip. This trio's non-pop wall of sound is all about the 3 R's, and Dark Ages is the theme song. Also on the bill are The Electricutions, who I am looking forward to seeing because their Myspace page says they are "punk rock and roll for wobblies" influenced by Phil Ochs et al. Really, you can't miss this night.
