MATT DRISCOLL: A VERY TACOMA BAND, EVEN IF THEY ARE FROM RENTON >>>
Guns & Rossetti is pretty much everything a true rock and roll band should be. Led by the moderately iconic Dick Rossetti (he of Comb Over, Squirt, Root Barrels and, of course, formerly 107.7FM “The Endâ€), Guns & Rossetti has the bases covered. Solid, crunchy riffs? Check. Tongue-in-check sarcasm? Check. Abundant swagger? Check. Songs about douchebag boyfriends and telling “your man to suck itâ€? Check. While Guns & Rossetti may technically call the lush and fruitful hills of Renton home, there’s just something about this band that’s so Tacoma. Perhaps this explains the band’s relationship with T-town fixtures like the Lund Bros. and Girl Trouble. And perhaps this also explains why every time Guns & Rossetti hits town â€" as they will tonight at The New Frontier â€" the results are legendary and the memories are hazy. Don’t believe me? See for yourself.
