Frustrations/Functional Blackouts/Sneaky Pinks

Sneaky Pinks

Functional Blackouts

Frustrations
Last week I spent my Tuesday night at the Painted Lady to get a much needed dose of crazy punk rock music. The Sneaky Pinks from Arizona opened and they weren't wearing pants. They played some high energy, fun and fast music. The Functional Blackouts really impressed me, their drummer played some creative rhythms on the toms pushing the band into more interesting territory. The Functional Blackouts from Chicago are getting better every time I see them. Closing were the Frustrations from Detroit. Another exciting young band with a great drummer. This music is taking punk to different places in a good way. It's still unhealthy and sick but the music is more developed with different influences showing.
