We arrived late to Freddy's, but were
fortunate enough to see some of Bitter Valentines' set. A
traditional four-piece, all of whom add something to BV's compelling
brand of hard rock, the Bitter Valentines thundered through their set
on the strength of Der S.'s vocal performance. Although BV is more
rock than punk, Der's vocals bring to mind some of the best protest
punk singers in the business. Imagine the vocal performances that
have you checking Flogging Molly's live calendar; and then get in
line for Bitter Valentines instead. Unlike a Flogging Molly show,
right now in NYC you could be just footsteps away from a frontman who
makes you feel the way he does. (Heck, you might even slam-dance
with him, as fans did here.) Never did his howling voice fail him
(or us). Not once was I less than moved by his emotive vocal
musicianship.
