Show Preview: Street Dogs – Downtown Struts – and Koffin Kats – at The Highline Ballroom – New York City, NY – September 15, 2012

Fall brings many things, changing leaves, cooling temps, and the end of the summer festival season, which could be a bad thing except it means the return of bands like The Downtown Struts and Street Dogs from their summer European tours.  To make this even better, these two bands will be teaming up and taking on New York City at the Highline Ballroom September 15.

 

There's not much that can be said about the hard-working Street Dogs that hasn't been said already, and any readers of this magazine know how much we love them, but the addition of The Downtown Struts puts this lineup over the top, and definitely makes this a show not to be missed.

The Downtown Struts are a new band hailing from Chicago, and though their debut full length has only just been released on Pirates Press, they've already toured with The Business, and taken Europe by storm, playing both Rebellion and all the major clubs, and have even released a 3-D music video for their new album. What have you done at work today? On stage they don't disappoint, unleashing their high energy and excellent lyrics on unsuspecting crowds and creating new fans at every turn. 

The Koffin Kats round out the lineup for this early show, which starts at 6:15, so you'll have plenty of time to soak in all the vices New York City has to offer. If you miss this one, you'll probably never forgive yourself.
