Get it together

After some modern metal, it was time for more retro sounds at the Rainbow, starting with Harvey Cartel. They've been pretty busy, and have racked up a fair number of upcoming dates thanks to their ferocious country-rock performance - one which certainly doesn't stint on the "rock" side of the equation.

Frontman Chris - not the Captain Foxy/Expatriate member with the same name — on vocals and guitar.



Rhythm section action with Andy Ehlers on bass and Dave DiMaria on drums.



I'll bet guitarist Elie Abdelnour was at the same Priestess show I was.



Singalong action!



Fret-burning action!



Reflective action!



The whole lot!



More Dave!



Faceoff action!



Elie sings!



Distorted action!



Even more distorted action!



Elongated action!



Sliding action!



Chris goes down!



Chris works the crowd!



Bending action!



Feedback action!



Big finish!



Their next show is at the Cajun Attic February 18; they'll also be at Zaphod Beeblebrox March 22.
