The Cool Hands at The Horseshoe - Concert Pictures

The Cool Hands did a good job with the tough opening spot as the first of four bands to play The Legendary Horseshoe Tavern on a Friday night, January 22, on a bill headlined by an amazing performance by SATE. Also performing were Xprime and The Honeyrunners.

This was my second time catching The Cool Hands at The Horseshoe. They've got a cool, rough-around-the-edges garage rock style and singer Luke James seemed to be channelling Jack White on this particular night. "Smoke Break" was a highlight, "I'm On My Way" was an audience singalong tune. Their set also included "Marijuana Cigarette" and a tune about time travel, "Poor Boys Night". They invited everyone up on stage after their set for a quick pic.

Check out some of the band's music:

Their latest EP, Evening, with "Poor Boys Night", "Watusi Blues", and "On My Way"

"I Did the Iggy", "Passerby" and "Watusi Blues"

"Marijuana Cigarette"

"Birds"

The Cool Hands at The Horseshoe

When I headed out to see Catl at The Horseshoe, I was late. I missed The Cool Hands, who were opening up the night. As fate would have it, they were also on the bill with Pine Barons opening for The Districts at The Horseshoe on February 18.

They rock out in a rough-around-the-edges garage style with some hip-hop added in for good measure.

Check out some tunes:

"I Did the Iggy", "Passerby" and "Watusi Blues"

"Birds"

"Marijuana Cigarette"

"Devil's Collector"
