| - Sin City Sinners - can I be your groupie? Or Band Aid a la Almost Famous?
LOL Seriously though, don't call them a cover band - you have your original stuff, and happen to jam and rock out to songs that the whole crowd already knows and appreciates.
OK I know, pretty damned long euphemistic explanation for why you make me remember how much I dreamed as a teen that I would marry a rockstar.
Yup - even had a poster of Glen Danzg on my wall through HS.
When I walked into here with the hubs, I thought - SWEET! The DJ is playing Lunch Box (Marilyn Manson - haven't heard that since I saw them tour with Danzig and Korn in 95!).
We came here because hubby forgot his shoes (yes, that's what happens when you are married to someone who learned to swim within 3 months of walking, and has surfed for over 2 decades - you live with seeing him in Sunday best at church and a pair of rainbows on). And because we wanted to get our boogie on to celebrate his bday.
Yelp to the rescue - and even typed in no dress code in the filter. :D
Nice to hear that Carey Hart titled this his idea of an "anti-club" - for people who just want to rock ;) yeah, too old to C-Walk sometimes I think, so throwing up the horned fist to the beat is my idea of fun on occasion.
I went to my old stand by to get us on VIP (MSG me if you are interested it's just a link away), and made plans to try out Ago inside the Hard Rock before checking out the scene.
This place has to be a music chameleon's idea of what it's like to play your iTunes for all your friends in an intimate setting - pure heaven :D
By chameleon I mean - I'm the kind of gal who played violin for several years, was in 3 different choirs all 4 years of high school, whose first concert was White Zombie/Pantera, and when I am having a bad day, will listen to Keep Yo Head Up by Tupac.
Anyways, the night already started well with that first impression, not to mention no cover for guys or gals if you are on VIP.
Walked up to the bar, and despite how busy it seemed, flashed a big toothy grin at the hottie blonde bartender, and she sauntered over, got us our vodka cran and Crown & Coke within 3 minutes of us standing there. (Less than $20 for both - DAMN that's a steal!!)
Took a step back and people watched the crowd - pretty good mix -
From AZNS, to Bikers, to drunken barely 21ers, and just everybody who seemed to be waiting for their friend to come back out and "play".
Imagine our pleasant surprise to find these guys on stage after a few songs. The crowd was zapping electricity - and know we know why.
These guys were amazing! They had such a wide range of vocals between the 2 guitars, and bass player. From Beastie Boys, to Rush (as requested by Kevin Federline) to KIIS. Best part - the Drummer from Pantera Vinnie Paul was there. I practically crawled to him in awe ready to do a classic we're not worthy Wayne's World chant...but prolly not very nice to my hubby on his bday night to show how much of this kind of effect a Rockstar has on me. C'mon! Dime Bag Darrell's older bro? My first concert had my panting for my Anselmo and Pantera.... I guess Vinnie is actually kind of a regular here and often plays with the band.
Overall, this place was so worth the trip to see not only a great set, but great diverse group, stiff drinks for not totally crazy Vegas "non-gaming" prices, and to see what Carey Hart had in mind when he said anti-bar. Truthfully, it is still a club/bar with the majority of the perimeter containing VIP tables/areas, etc.
Definitely will come back here to see another Sin City performance or other band play - the intimate space allows for a guaranteed night of temporary indulgent hearing loss and auditory excitement.
