DS Show Review and Gallery: Starcrawler, Niis, The Vaxxines (The Chapel, San Francisco)
We missed Starcrawler at Punk Rock Bowling as they were playing on the 2nd stage while we jammed up against the main stage. So when they showed up in San Francisco two weeks later we just had to be there.
Opening up were The Vaxxines with new singer Chelsea Rose of Bite. The Vaxxines (and Chelsea) are old friends and put on their usual tight mix of garage punk.
Niis are woman-fronted hard garage punk from Los Angeles with powerful vocals. In July and August they’ll be touring the West and South, you should see them.
Starcrawler are simply astonishing. Lead singer Arrow de Wilde has such a presence, amazing vocals and is visually incredible. The band behind her is solid and entertaining.
