Mini Kiss Live Plus New Albums from Cheap Trick, Neko Case, The Beths, Guided By Voices & SNOWMEN (VIDEO)

This week, I am reviewing a concert from the hottest, littlest band in the world, Mini Kiss! in addition to seeing this unique tribute band, I also run through some of the best new release pick ups from the last month or so.

I am discussing the new albums from: SNOWMEN, the NYC band has just released it debut full-length, A Kick to the Face. It can be found on the streamers, or at the band's bandcamp page.

GUIDED BY VOICES has just released its 43rd album, Thick, Rich and Delicious. Another solid batch of indie pop from Robert Pollard and band.

I touch briefly on the new album from NEKO CASE, Neon Grey Midnight Green.

New Zealand indie rockers, THE BETHS, are back with a stellar new record called, Straight Line Was A Lie.

Finally, I cover the newest record from CHEAP TRICK, All Washed Up.

REVIEW: Cheap Trick LIVE at The Orpheum Theater, Omaha, NE 10/3/23 (VIDEO)

 Caught the legendary Cheap Trick this week for the first time in a number of years. The band rolled through Omaha on October 3, 2023 and played at The Orpheum Theater. This was my first time seeing the band since the retirement of drummer, Bun E. Carlos, back in 2010. 

 Fortunately, Cheap Trick was the headliner at this show, as they often tour as support for other bands. Seeing a 45 minute set is just not enough Cheap Trick! 

 This video is filled with tons of clips and photos from the show, as well as my thoughts on the current state of the band.

I saw Cheap Trick last night for the first time in about 15 years (and my first time seeing them since the retirement of drummer Bun E. Carlos). They were playing a headline show at Omaha's legendary Orpheum Theater. I point out that CT was headlining because they have been to Omaha a number of times over the last few years, but they were supporting someone else. I have seen them do an opening set, but I don't like it. It's not enough Cheap Trick!

I'll have a video review up on my YouTube soon.

For Those That Doubt The Awesomeness of Cheap Trick

Cheap Trick 1981 appearance on SNL. Features Pete Comita on bass who was in the band for like six months or something. Robin Zander still gets my vote for best voice in rock.
