(next was) Kickstart and their sweaty rock & roll spectacle of veins a'bulgin', fake blood sporting pogo induction. I should clarify that I don't pogo but Kickstart makes me."

The second band to play was balls-out rockers Kickstart who came on and kicked serious ass the entire time. Their sound is a little bit of rockabilly, little bit punk, and a lot of fucking rock and roll. No wonder I drank so much whiskey during their set. Ask yourself - what do you really want in a rock show? Loud screaming guitar players booming with a touch of danger and lots of sweat? A kick ass chick on drums? A three piece that can make your ears bleed and leave you smiling and exhausted from their set? If you answered yes to any of those questions I suggest checking Kickstart live or on MySpace. Do it now.

"Kickstart carry the true heart of rock'n'roll in their collective chests. Contagious punk pop ditties rocking LAMF, Mary thrashing her drums with a grin on her face that sparkles, Eric roaring into his mic and punishing his guitar splendidly, Bass enigmatic like a young Roy Orbison. You are here."

Our friend Travis from Serious Business swears by this band, calling it "the most dangerous rock band in NYC", so we thought we might give it a shot. The guys are obviously into punk... Think Sex Pistols with an abrasive voiced tenor singer and harmonies a la Pixies. Gosh, I spotted a British accent there for a second, mate! When they all stop during the break at the end and scream something related to "fuck"... that's classic punk, mate! ... innit? - PDG
P.S. Yes, there IS a naked woman on stage with the guitarist in that tiny picture... go to the band's website for a larger version of it - or to the band's next show for the real thing! Ladies, the guitarist is pretty hot too, in that Italian wifebeater! Dangerous indeed, Travis!

"...they're called Kickstart, and they perform catchy, noisy, rockabilly-tinged songs that make you want to drink brown liquors, smoke cigarettes, and do all kinds of naked sweaty things until the sun comes up and you have to drag yourself to work."
