I caught Little Junior's set at Lee's Palace on Friday night. They were warming things up for Sam Coffey and The Iron Lungs. My coverage of the Lungs' set is here.

I really like Little Junior and was excited to see them live again after so long. They opened with the familiar "Crooked Tooth" from the band's 2018 album Hi. It's a powerful and dynamic tune to begin a set with. Their set then introduced us to a ton of new tunes. Lots of us have been anxiously awaiting new music from Little Junior since they mentioned and teased us with some at Royal Mountain Records Goodbye to Summer BBQ back in fall of 2019. I guess covid pressed pause on everything except aging, which was probably accelerated in my case.

Rane commented that this was their first show in almost two years. It was great from my side of the stage; hope it was an amazing experience from your side, too.

The band closed out their set with another familiar one, "Buzz Off". The tune ended a great set of exactly what we’ve come to love from Little Junior; high energy power pop tunes with massive chords, powerful rhythms and catchy melodies.

I've covered lots of Little Junior shows. Check out my previous coverage of them at Royal Mountain Records Goodbye to Summer BBQ, The Phoenix Concert Theatre, Royal Mountain Records Festival, Hillside 2018, and Lee's Palace.

Here's some of their music:
