I'm The King Of Rock And Roll" kicks off opener I Love Rich's album,Year Of The Rich, and it more or less sets the tone for the local band's cocky, lounge-rock. There are fist pumping refrains, exaggerated guitar solos, and a "let's fucking party" attitude that informs the band's catalog. Live, it gets amped up to a surreal level. Headliner Desi Rexx pushed glam rock to its limits in the '80s with his former band D'Molls, though fans may also remember him from his brief stint as a rhythm guitarist for David Lee Roth. These days, Rexx, unsurprisingly, continues to showcase his skills for guitar wankery in the form of extended solos and sleazy songs--in other words, cock rock straight out of the '80s. Also opening: Dogs Divine.
