It is late Friday night. The closest city in sight is New York and in Brooklyn there seems to be a lot music going on. There are friends to be seen and women to encounter. I took a chance and seem to have been sidetracked to the wrong show, so I was unable to record the Dangerous Boys Club. They have an incredible live show, search for them and when in town see them. Fortunately I was able to interview their singer Erin Montaigne and this is what he spoke.
