The Peasants


Live Review
Paradise Front Room, Boston MA
5/11/02
 
The Peasants, still brushing off the road dust from yet another successful European tour, hunker down on the small Paradise stage and rip into their gritty no-holds-barred brand of good old fashioned rock 'n' roll. Astonishingly, almost nobody in this room cares, proving that not only are the drinks at The Paradise grossly overpriced, but also the place attracts some seriously lame ass patrons. Cassani is one of those veteran guitar players whose every lick and strum is rippingly good; the dude plays the shit out of everything. The band powers through the Stonesy "Forty Lines," rages on the Cheap Trick-like "Girlfriend," and stomps all over the anthemic "Goddamn Job." The sorority queen next to me won't stop yapping and snapping her gum, and I feel like knocking the five dollar Smirnoff Ice out of her manicured hand and snarling "Listen Barbie, these guys are HUGE in Holland." Well they are.
