King Me

Retro jams are reigning blows down on the ROC this weekend. The Chesterfield Kings, Rochester's own throwback rock band of crazies, is shredding the German House Saturday night. They are a misfit group of musicians that easily have one of the best stage shows this chick has seen. Come on out if you have a genuine appreciation of rock music's past taking shape today.

Location: The German house
Time: 8PM
Cash: $25 at the door or the Bop Shop

Kings of the ROC

With shrieking vocals, twangy 60s guitar chords, a handful of kicks to the suspended speakers and plenty of tight jeans, The Chesterfield Kings stormed onto the closing Lilac Festival stage and rocked the crowd into Sunday night.

Fronted by Greg Prevost, "that guy" from the HOG, their set covered all the bases from their catchy hit, I don't understand, to a couple of Bo Diddley covers.
