REV. ADAM MCKINNEY:IF THE DOCK IS ROCKING, DON'T BOTHER ... SOMETHING >>>
Retro shows are always a hairy proposition. There’s always the fear that nostalgia will overbear the music, that kitsch will drown the rock. It’s understandable, considering the very nature of a show featuring bands that specialize in trudging through the past. So it’s with caution that I recommend the Rock at the Dock show, advertised as a car show and dance party.
But I feel fairly confident the show will err on the side of awesome.
The retro bands in question will be the Nowhere Men (a Beatles tribute band) and the Galaxies, a legitimate legend in the history of Pacific Northwest music.
Setting aside the question of a Beatles tribute band, the Galaxies â€" who will go on around 6:30 p.m. â€" can be counted on to bring down the house with their vintage brand of garage rock.
