"We've been playing in the Brooklyn/NYC area since 2008 at venues like Silent Barn, Death By Audio, Market Hotel, The Glassdoor, Freedom Garden, The Tank, and Goodbye Blue Monday."

The self-described 'dirty, tasty Brooklyn rock and roll' band hits Pittsburgh this Saturday at The Fallout Shelter on a bill with Rob Kocher, Crisis in America, and Rasputin's Secret Police. My thanks to Vocalist/Guitarist Joe Plourde for taking part in this edition of First/Last.

Your last album bought?
J. Marinelli & His Angry Young One-Man Band, "Stone Age Kicks Volume One".

Favorite album of all time?
All of them!

Least favorite/most disappointing album?
I don't like to hate.

Every single ‘Rasputin's Secret Police’ show!

Any thoughts, experiences about Pittsburgh?
This will be my first time in Pittsburgh. I've got some friends who went to Carnegie Mellon. They said it was dark and hilly with a lot of canals.


Thanks, Joe. First time in Pittsburgh for sure! Seriously, canals? Three RIVERS dude!
