If you recall, the insanely talented Brad Walsh DJ-ed our Holiday Party earlier this month (you can thank him for the mayhem that erupted after Nous Non Plus's set ended and 'Sexyback' began!). He also is the official photographer for Stolen Transmission and has had his pics featured in Junk and Spin magazines, just to name a few. We were beyond excited to see Brad in the flesh, performing tracks from his debut LP, Prior To.
By the time his back-up singers took the stage around 12:45, there was already a roaring cheer of 'I LOVE BRAD WALSH!' Brad's dance-a-rific set included album-opening 'Available' & 'Do It In The Street', and closed with a ridulously fantastic cover of Stacey Q's always-enjoyable 'Two Of Hearts' (also on Prior To).
For those listening closely during 'Two Of Hearts', Brad threw in a few lines of Madonna's 'Sorry' to add fuel to his fire. A truly brilliant debut performance. Kudos, Brad!

Immediately following Brad's electrifying electronic set, MisShapes was ablaze once again with pulsating guitars and some exquisite drumming, provided by The Oohlas.
The Oohlas reminded me of a modern-day Veruca Salt or Girls Against Boys. Their sound can be easily referenced back to mid-90s alterna-rock but has some quality to it that is entirely their own and, well, fresh. I predict 2007 being a very nice year for The Oohlas.

Oh yeah, to cap off the night, The Raveonettes DJed! They threw on some classics: The Stone Roses, The Clash & My Bloody Valentine. And they even took a hot second to pose for The Music Slut. God love 'em!
