Sahara Hotnights
Mercury Lounge
April 8, 2003
by Taryn A. Harris/senior editor
Sahara Hotnights, the Swedish punk rock
band in the vein of the Runaways and the Ramones are amazingly
refreshing considering most new music these days is dismissable
crap.
The band consists of Josephine Forsman
(drummer), Johanna Asplund (bass guitar), Jennie Asplund (guitar)
and Maria Andersson (guitar and vocals) and there's not a weak
link in the bunch. Their dynamic chemistry only tells part of
the story on record; live, it is a different animal but an exciting
one.
The massively talented quartet, who has
appeared on Song Ramones The Same, the Ramones tribute
album and on the soundtrack to Jackass: The Music Vol.
1, treated the Mercury audience to songs from their
latest album, Jennie Bomb (on Jet Set Records),
which included "Alright Alright (Here's My Fist Where's
The Fight?)," "No Big Deal," "Keep Up The
Speed," "Out of The System" and the catchy "On
Top of Your World."
What esle can I say? These girls
are kickass and had the crowd at the sold out show at the Mercury
Lounge rocking for a solid 40 minutes.Looking forward to hearing
more of them in the future. Grrrrrrrr!
