Eric from VIXEN nightclub in Sparks gave me a call to come down and shoot some of the national acts he has over the next few months. Last night (Wed. 1/9/07) he had The Head Cat, featuring Slim Jim Phantom of The Stray CatsLemmy of Motorhead, and Danny B. Harvey, a rockabilly guitar legend. The show was produced by We Ain’t Saints.

Opening up was Dirty Rigs from Tahoe City a 3 piece old school punk band from Tahoe City.

The second act was Helbound Glory a self proclaimed “Dirt-bag Country” band from Reno. In my mind these guys were the highlight of the night. I have seen their name for a while now and am really glad I had a chance to finally see them. They were GREAT.

The head liners, The Head Cat, did a solid set of rockabilly standards, some Stray Cats stuff and some originals. It was a good show and it was LOUD. I was only allowed, due to a no camera clause in their contract, to photograph the 1st three songs without flash. Rockstars … ;)
