Social Hero CMJ show: Village Underground on 10.24

Anyone up for a second helping of Warrant’s “Cherry Pie?” That’s not exactly what Social Hero serves up, mind you—this is no ironic hair-metal pose—but insofar as the quintet mixes fat riffs with libidinous lyrics, its music recalls the simple pleasures of rock’s pre-grunge era. On “Evening Gown,” the best of the group’s MySpace offerings, singer David Lloyd dreams of tearing through the titular garment, while “Mosquito Attack,” a nod to ‘80s Aerosmith, finds the front man poised to spend a night nibbling on his special lady’s face. Lest anyone think the band is only inspired by schlock, “Keep Telling Yourself” reveals an affinity for Queen and ‘70s power pop—influences always deserving of the revivalist treatment.

Awesome!

We got a lot cooking over here on the SHero grill, so put on your hairnets — it’s time to flip both burgers and out!!!  (There’s your zeugma for the day.  You heard me.)

We’ll be rolling and tumbling next Saturday at the CMJ Festival!  It’s going to be a thoroughly raucous, rock us event, so let your Aunt Mabel out from underneath the stairs, doll her up all fancy-like with her lip liner and eye gloss, and “wheel her” out to a show she’ll never forget–if she survives!  (It is almost Halloween, after all!)

SOCIAL HERO

Hey Billy Bob!

Well, it’s a very special day today. It’s Barack Obama’s birthday. What this means to you is: if it’s also your birthday today, maybe someday it will be a national holiday, and I won’t have to go to work on your birthday any more. I’m looking at you, W. R. Thornton (happy birthday). (The rest of you, of course, know Mr. Thornton as the monster-magazine enthusiast and drummer/vocalist for rock superstars The Boxmasters, although it turns out he’s also done some acting, and he’s not too bad at it. [Would you ask Tom Petty that?])

In celebration of all things everywhere at all times:

SOCIAL HERO! LIVE! IN CONCERT! NO FOOLIN’!
7:00pm – Thursday, August 13th
at REBEL
251 W. 30th Street, NYC
(A/C/E, 1/2/3, N/R/Q/W, B/D/F/V to 34th Street)
$10, Ages 18+

This will be a particularly (and literally) MIND-BLOWING night of rock and roll for the following reasons:

We will be playing with The Minor Lift (www.myspace.com/theminorlift) and Blue Winter (www.myspace.com/bluewinter), both of which are some of the hardest rocking bands in show business.

BUT WAIT! Just when you thought it couldn’t get any crazier, The Minor Lift will feature none other than Griffin “Li’l Brudder” Lotti on lead guitar, and Blue Winter has retained the vocal stylings of none other than David “Bonitis” Lloyd on lead vocals! It’s a veritable THREEFER! A SOCIAL HERO OVERLOAD! WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT???

That question is rhetorical.

We’ll see you there!

LOVE & FLUZZ,

SOCIAL HERO

olé!
