Shout out to Pittsburgh's Black Tie Revue

When I got to the warehouse on West 24the Street on the last night of CMJ, I met Black Tie Revue's Anthony Badamo, and we had a great talk about the state of indie rock in the 2000's , regional music scenes, etc. A real friendly guy, who's really into playing his music.

Black Tie Revue were next on the bill after Right On Dynamite. Unfortunately due to my own time constraints (sometimes I wish I could be in two places at once) I didn't get any usable photos (hey, it happens to the best of us!) of Black Tie Revue...but I liked what I heard.

Check them out on their MySpace page...and keep a lookout for them when they come to your town! Also look for their new album "Code Fun" on Gearhead Records.

Black Tie Revue are from Pittsburgh, PA, and are: Anthony Badamo, Paul Felty, Matthew Hanzes, Jesse Ley, John-Paul "The Beast" McCormick.
