I usually limit my concert recommendations to those in and aroundBoston, but I'm making an exception for That Petrol Emotion playingtonight in Brooklyn. The band arose from the remnants of the Undertonesin the late '80s then went dormant after a few albums; they showedgreat promise and got critical praise, but their clattering rock neverfound a big audience. Still, they hold a place near and dear in myheart. I ripped off their look from 1987's Babble of writing on sunglasses with correction fluid;photos of me made the college paper and yearbook, but no one recognizedthe inspiration. 1988's End Of The MillenniumPsychosis Blues captured howI was feeling at that time. The first time I saw them live, I knew allthe words to their songs even more than the words to a Beatles songthey covered; it's not as if "Hey, Bulldog" was ever ubiquitous likeother parts of the Beatles catalog, but I certainly listened to TPE farmore. I got to interview drummerCiaran McLaughlin for B-Side Magazine;that I could cover them was a reason I loved writing for B-Side;that I had to battle another writer for the chance was why I loved ourstaff (The other writer got to interview the Chills, so we were even.)
Anyway, the Undertones reunited and toured a few years ago, so it wasalmost inevitable that That Petrol Emotion would follow suit. They werenever hugely beloved, so I hope they find enough of an audience towarrant another U.S. tour that includes Boston.
ThatPetrol Emotion play with the Mad Scene at 7:30 tonight at the Bell House,149 7th St, Brooklyn, NY 718-643-6510.
