Live in Concert: Pet Peeve, Romanian-Style, Chicago-Fashioned Gypsy Rock Band @ Double Door, Chicago – June 5, 2011
Last night I had the privilege and high honor to listen to highly awesome Romanian-style, Chicago-fashioned gypsy rock band Pet Peeve at the Double Door in Wicker Park, Chicago. I met lead guitarist and vocals, Lorian Toth, Friday night and Sunday night he was joined on stage by Mark Adkison on violin, guitar, and vocals; Ryan Flanagan on drums; and Elliot Esparza on bass. Like their gypsy rock of the new Western world in the new millennium predecessors, New York’s uber-famous Gogol Bordello (largely out of the Club Mehanata, formerly in Chinatown currently in the Lower East Side), they got the crowd of young’uns largely unacquainted with the gypsy tango a-goin’. Some images from Pet Peeve’s live show:
