As you read yesterday Jon Spenser of Blues Explosion fame has an amazing Rockabilly group called Heavy Trash.  They played the Friends and Family opening of Beauty Bar Brooklyn on Thursday.  They were pretty fantastic.  The highlight of their set had to be when they brought the whole crowd outside and played on a car in the pouring rain.  Unfortunately my flash was dying and by the time I changed batteries they were headed inside.  I only got a few shots off but fortunately I got a shot of the cop who rolled past while they were outside with about 100 other people watching and clapping their hands. The cop just kept going though. I guess you can get away with a lot in Bushwick… Unless you are waiving a gun in the air or stabbing something they have better things to do.  Anyway it was a great set and a great way to kick off the new Beauty Bar location.

PS.  The terrible photos I took last night at my birthday extravaganza should be up late tonight.
