Rising To The Rock N Roll Challenge

The Black Hollies
@Magnetic Field
Brooklyn, NY – April 15, 2006

With Mondo Topless canceling due to personal business, it was up to the Black Hollies to take it all on their own shoulders for a Saturday night of rock n roll and they lived up to the task. Showing marked improvement from the first time I saw them last September, the Hollies were tight on the riffs and smooth in execution though the lead singer still needs some work on the vocals. One of the guitarists showed off some unsuspecting soulful vocals for one number. In fact, the Hollies are sound almost identical to the band I saw them open up for last September, the Greenhornes. That’s not such a bad thing.
