Freaks Ball VIII: 2/9 in Brooklyn

Mocean Worker is the bomb!

"Zeppelin got back together for a gig across the Atlantic and tried to bring it back like old times... sorry to say they can't rock their own stuff the way Bustle In Your Hedgerow is going to rock"... umm excuse me? were you watching the same zep reunion as everybody else??? bustle is a good COVERband, but common, zeplin rocked it like they were in their prime, relax guy no need to go overboard to sell the show, ive seen bustle and their ok, but no where near the energy i felt in london, people still buzzing about it, GO GIANTS

Are you crazy? I'd rather see Bustle any day over the real Zep. Buncha tired old farts! :)

no question about it. bigandtall's right. bustle has energy, youth, and most importantly, musicians in their prime WANTING to play together. no media stunt, no reunion, no worldwide B.S. just very very good musicians playing very good music. and mimiluiv, no, zeppelin did not play like they were in their prime. go watch any of the dvds and compare. please.

Hello? Sarcasam...I belive the comparison to Led Zepplin's performance in December was in jest. And also Mocean Worker does kick serious bootay!

Tired old farts my ass. Show me a man that would rather see this COVER band over the real Zep and I'll show you a man who doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.

bustle in your hedgerow is a great cover band but not led zep, still anyone who is a real fan of music will dig this band. do yourselves a favor and go see this band.

You guys need a serious sarcasm censor. In all seriousness, though, Bustle kicks some serious ass. These guys are in their prime and push the music to another place. Sure, it's a cover band, but it's their "for fun" cover band. When they play as Bustle they are just having a great kick-ass time and it shows. Mocean and the Babies are great too.

It's good to know that 1 in 10 JamBase commenters can read between the lines. The rest of you are uninvited.

I don't care how they'd compare to the real thing. I'd love to see Bustle In Your Hedgerow!

Scott Metzger is perhaps one of the most underrated guitarists around right now. infact of all these musicians rock but scott stands out...seriously, if you're not familiar check out RANA.

"ilikephish" i dont need to watch any DVDs i was at the show in london and yes they did play like they were in their prime, it was one of the top 3 shows ive attended in my life and ive been to many. the energy in the building was enough to drownD you and the sound was insane. im not asying bustle iSNt good, which they are, but its not even in the same solar system as the orginal LED ZEPPELIN, so i think "pimpmcgeorge" said it best when he said "Show me a man that would rather see this COVER band over the real Zep and I'll show you a man who doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground." unfortantly thats you "ilikephish". and ive been to at least 50 phish shows and i woulda traded all of them for that london show SORRY

From the Freaks list:

Official Freaks Ball After Party: Bar Reis

If you’re not ready to go home after Freaks Ball is over tomorrow night, head on over to Bar Reis. We've put together the following drink specials: $5 draft beers and $5 Stoli Vodka (all flavors). Also, Will Evans will be spinning classic funk, afrobeat, and other tracks if your body just isn’t ready to stop grooving.

Bar Reis: 375 5th Ave., Brooklyn New York (between 5th and 6th streets)

Directions: Take a left as you exit Southpaw and walk 12blocks. Stop at The Gate on 3rd St. for refreshment along the way. OR: get a car service outside of Southpaw.

$10 and under, cool. $25 is WAY too steep for me to attend. Throw someone else good one there, maybe I would consider....

good luck trying to put on a 3 band show in nyc for under $10 and actually paying the band members in a currency other than pbr.
