I’m not entirely sure what I was doing pre-Eagles of Death Metal (probably avoiding Taking Back Sunday) but the important point was is that I got to see Boots Electric talk about getting beaten up by hooligans in Brisbane.
Music-wise, the band are pretty much the personification of the Demetri Martin joke, “Everything sounds a bit cooler and sleazier when you add ladies to the end. ‘I’m stuck in a well… ladies!’” Or just cock rock with more cock than you can handle. Whatever it is, half the audience cared, the other half didn’t get the joke (and probably like Taking Back Sunday)
