Pete Moon went on first. They play a brand of radio friendly rock like that of Live or Vertical Horizon. They play it well, and the show was pretty good. I loved the signer's pants! Anyway, the crowd had a just okay response to these guys, but they were good.
Fluid Tuseday was next. These guys really rock pretty hard. They play a brand of rock n roll that is hard to describe. A little Black Crowes influence is there, but so are newer bands like Default or Filter. They put on a nice show, and the crowd got into it pretty good. Fluid Tuesday played a nice set; I wouldn't mind seeing them again.
Finally, the mighty Mink, the headliners, came on. They tore the whole place apart. All the normal songs were in the set along with a new one "R U 4 Me?" It is a quite nice rock song and could be a big hit. As the crowd went crazier so did Mink. That's how rock should be. The short set went by and the crowd was begging for simply more, but sadly no more came. Oh well, it rocked.
Of course, Mink won the battle and justly so. They are the best local band after all. Everyone knows that. I wouldn't want to be in a battle of the bands with them.
