Dead Kings and KIFF at Volume 11

Dave Ellefson (Megadeth) was supposed to play Volume 11 last night with his new band, but the show was rescheduled for sometime in June. that was good for me because the cover charge was dropped to $7! I hadn't heard of Dead Kings, but they had me amused with their Elvis outfits. Check out their video.

KIFF (Knowledge is for Fools) were the obvious crowd favorites with their zombie antics and classic punk covers. Guitarist Slayer Dug had the best outfit of the night.

Regina Hexaphone and Gerald Duncan

Last night I checked out Regina Hexaphone at Sadlack's and was very pleasantly surprised to find Gerald Duncan (of Accelerators fame) opening. Gerald is easily one of the most underrated singer-songwriters in this area, and he doesn't perform very often. His lovely wife, Laura, told me that the full band will be performing at Hideaway on June 23 with Hank Sinatra. I also found out that The Trousers will be opening for The Loners at Slim's on June 29. Check out the video of Gerald, then below, Regina Hexaphone, who also put on a fabulous show.
