Bang Camaro who just played at the Double Door here, is kind of my new favorite band. There are supposedly 20-25 guys in this band normally, but "only" about half of them go on tour. They fill out their ranks with a few locals wherever they go. When you first walk in and see them, you just start laughing. Because there are so many people on stage, there is a non-stop flow of goofy hard rock activity--always someone head-banging, fist-pumping, or shouting at the audience. The guitarists all have extreme-shaped guitars (such as the "warlock" the Flying V and the Gibson SG), and they like to point them to the sky or towards the crowd for effect. It's like an endless show of hard rock cliches--but funny. It's kind of like if Village People were a hard rock band. Also important to know: most of BC's songs (like "Swallow the Razor") don't have verses--just soaring choruses and guitar solos. Everything you love about 80s rock music minus the filler.
