I finally got up to NYC to see The Dirty Pearls @ the Bowery Ballroom on 4.25. Tommy has been a close friend of mine for over 20 years, and I have been lax to get up there and see his new project. I have been in many bands and done other projects with Tommy over the years so i am pretty familiar with his writing style. What Tommy has done with the Pearls is flat out awesome. Moved up to NYC from Chester county and created one of the hottest bands in NYC. They are raw, they are energetic and they flat out rock. They took the stage about 11:00 and from the opening guitar riff to the confetti shower at the end of the encore (awesome song called New York City Is A Drug), they have your foot tapping and your fist pumping for 60 minutes straight.

It’s great to hear real rock music coming loud and clear out of NYC and even better that it’s coming from Tommy. He’s a great guy and has worked his a** off in NYC to get the Pearls where they are. If you haven’t checked them out … i highly recommend you do.
