I cooked a big dinner on Saturday night for some of our extended family. A couple of Manhattans into the evening; and I thought that, this time, I may be in for the night. Then SIMGE Mike came through with a ride, and I was able to catch most of the Dark City "Live and Local" showcase at The Wonder Bar.
Prehistoric Forest did a great set of their early aughts sounding indie rock, vocalist Vince Matthews jumping, writhing, and rolling around on stage. Montclair alt rockers Those Mockingbirds, who appear to be just on the cusp of a breakout, shook things up inside just as the thunderstorms returned to rattle things on the street. They rolled off songs from their current LP Penny The Dreadful and offered it as a special pay-what-you-want deal to commemorate the evening.
Here are some photo highlights of both bands. Look for more up at Flickr. I'll get photos of a couple of the other bands that played -- Climbing The Walls and KENYA -- up there a little later.
