Redd Kross Rock the Faithful With Career-Spanning Set and Hilarious Brotherly Banter: Concert Review
Redd Kross, who managed to influence indie, alt-rock and even metal without becoming superstars themselves, rocked a career-spanning set in Brooklyn.
Kiss, the Beatles, the Partridge Family, garish early ‘70s fashion all got thrown into the same blender and spit out in a fun, funny and deceptively clever way that helped set the cultural tone for Gen X. Rather than the flamboyant bell bottoms and paisley of yesteryear, they took the stage in matching light-blue suits; Steve’s hair is still waist-length but Jeff’s is short and he wore his glasses for half the set. They traded jibes with the crowd and also took a couple of moments to recall their history kind of wistfully, noting that their first show was almost exactly 45 years before this night — July 22, 1979, they said — and thanking the audience for riding with them on their long “journey,” although Steve rolled his eyes sarcastically when he said that particular word.
