JENNIFER JOHNSON: HOT LINEUP AT HELL'S KITCHEN TONIGHT >>>

711810014_l It’s another awesomely stacked bill at Hell’s Kitchen this Saturday night. My first thought on seeing this lineup was “Nice. Top Heavy Crush is my Saturday night.” Then seeing Glimpse on the bill, I thought, “Whoa, they haven’t played out in a while. That’s gonna rock.” And it will. Around since 1999, Glimpse has seen fits and starts in national and local popularity. Once in heavy regular rotation, the band’s shows became less frequent as they toured the states, took time off to write, and band members developed other musical projects (The Joshua Cain Band, for instance). One thing that’s remained consistent is the band’s ability to serve up songs with infectious hooks that flat-out rock; each could be deemed a single. Glimpse is a perfect pairing with Top Heavy Crush â€" chunky guitars, catchy lyrics, chest-thumpin’ bass, and on-fire drumming. Hot guys in tight black pants and eyeliner playing ferocious rock and roll? I’m in.
