A brace of gigs, a host of pictures: Rolo Tomassi *launching their excellent debut LP _Hysterics_ at The Old Blue Last on Monday night, and the inimitable *Andrew W.K. making a rare live appearance at Push's 1st Birthday party on Saturday. Enjoy!

DiScuss: did you make it to either of these gigs? If so, what did you think? And how good is that Rolo Tomassi album? We say: ace.

Looks like the guy from Thursday on that Thrash Hits review.

I've heard about the Andrew WK gig

but how was his motivational talk? That's what I really want to know. A few details about it other than saying it was awesome (as I'd imagine it would have been) would be ace!

Spot AlexRoar in the Rolo Tomassi pic!

Brilliant shots as always Holly!! :) I love that first Andrew WK especially - the lighting is really beautiful! Great shot! and that one of (is it Joe?) doing naughty things with his bass is fucking AWESOME!

For some BAD Rolo Tomassi shots keep an eye on here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucylovestodance/

They'll be going up tonight!

I hope i like Tomassi at some point, i just really thought that genre had tired away and retired back to its home in San Diego...not a fan of that stuff no more...
