Rockin' with The Hormones @ Slim's Nightclub, San Francisco - Fri. 05/29/09

On Friday night May 29th I went out to see my friends the Hormones, (Margo/guitar, Ronda/vocals, Lisa/drums, & Joy/bass) an all-female Ramones tribute band perform at Slim's Nightclub in San Francisco.

I'll sum up the show in one word... awesome!

I saw them last year in their beginning stages and knew even back then that this was gonna be more than just 4 girls playing Ramones songs.

Not only do they have the look, they have the feel and the sound of the Ramones down to a T.

“Ladies & gentleman, the Hormones!”

"Ladies & gentelman, Lynyrd Skynyrd!"

Hey there Readers,

Today's post is a tribute to one of the most lasting and durable rock and roll bands that America has ever produced, Lynyrd Skynyrd.

A few days ago Lynyrd Skynyrd's bass player Donald "Ean" Evans passed away at the age of 48 from cancer.

And although we mourn his passing, we also celebrate his living.

The music of Lynyrd Skynyrd will live on long after all of us are gone, and so this playlist is dedicated to the music of Lynyrd Skynyrd, to all of the band members who made this fabulous music, and to all us the fans that have loved these songs for more than 3 decades.

Peace, Love, & Cheers!

Mick
