Albert Hammond, Jr. live @ Station 4, 6/7/07

You may know Albert as the guitar player for The Strokes. How did he fare as a solo performer? Absolutely brilliant; fantastic live. I think I liked his gig last Thursday at Station 4 in St. Paul more than the last Strokes show. From hearing the band rehearse above the venue before the concert, to hanging out with Albert after the show, I had a great time. Did you know Steve, the guitarist/singer from Longwave plays guitar in Albert's live band? You do now, and yes, he rocks...
