These bands, that in just a short while will catch on and blow up if history is any indicator, get the &#8220;worst&#8221; spot on the bill and sometimes make the bigger impression.<\/span><br style=\"color: #222222;\" \/><br style=\"color: #222222;\" \/><span style=\"color: #222222;\">Now, no one is saying that Dr. Dog can ever be upstaged, but I and a few others, were surprised to hear that their opener Saint Rich made a damn fine attempt last month. They&#8217;ve got the skill and stage charisma, sure, but when the frontman is visibly offering some of his soul for the early audience to do with what they will, a live music slave like myself will notice, and even buy a T-shirt. If you like The Rolling Stones ( I know, I know) but if you like The Rolling Stones, try out this new blood from New Jersey, Saint Rich.<\/span><br style=\"color: #222222;\" \/><br style=\"color: #222222;\" \/><span style=\"color: #222222;\">We also made a double-discovery at the more recent Sleeper Agent show at The Riot Room. Pagiins went first, starting just before\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"aBn\" style=\"color: #222222;\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1950145962\"><span class=\"aQJ\">8pm<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #222222;\">\u00a0in front of quite a modest crowd, who was intoxicated by their garage-punk sound nonetheless. Did you know new things could still be done with garage-punk? I had always hoped so, but wanted proof. Pagiins gave me that proof.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\">Holychild came next. No guitars, innumerable keys and a nasty beat set this group apart from their leading and following acts. Their front woman sporting black lipstick and a shiny gold disco blouse, these guys may remind you of No Doubt, but they rock more sexy than steady. It&#8217;s formidable.<\/span><br style=\"color: #222222;\" \/><br style=\"color: #222222;\" \/><span style=\"color: #222222;\">Got a better live experience thanks to your openers?
