No Pasarans @ Maxwells
For a band that hasn't played together for 10 months, No Pasarans sure had it together. The band keeps post-punk alive in New Jersey with their unrelenting brand of rock. the Jersey City/ Hoboken based band features Eric Mason, also a member of the folk/rock band Secret Country. Here he played bass and guitar and chopped away comfortably. The band opened for John Reis from Rocket From the Crypt, Drive Like Jeju, Hot Snakes, newest band, The Night Marchers. The three guys play in the vein of Fugazi, Q and Not U, Wire, and mix 80's punk like Naked Raygun and Pegboy. "Mobility at Last," was one of favorites of the set. This band needs to play more shows. I can imagine a nice line-up with No Pasarans, Screaming Females, and Black Wine. Don Giovanni Records and Killing Horse Records bands fit perfectly together!
The Night Marchers, who played the much larger Siren Festival the day before, got the crowd moving with their brand of rock 'n roll. The steady guitar prompted some shaking and headbanging. But singer John said that his band's music isn't made for dancing or something life that.Their set was garage-rock at its finest.
