JJ Grey & Mofro plus MonkeyJunk
by Slymeta on 1/28/12Paradise Rock Club - BostonRating: 4 out of 5Really great opening band MonkeyJunk was a nice surprise, 3 guys from Canada, bluesy rock, good guitar work. JJ Grey was GREAT!! It was our second time seeing him, great show! The Paradise venue not my favorite. You can get there early and get a good spot but interlopers will shove in (politely mind you) with verbiage like "Excuse me, sorry" and get in front of you. Granted we are tall folks, so I can't really blame the average height people trying to get a better view. If you want to get a drink during the show, you risk losing your spot and having to shove your way back to your party. We opted to only have one beer during the show to avoid the hassle. All in all, minor gripes! You have the opportunity at the Paradise to be close to the band which is great and was our choice, so you put up with the crowd. The real gem is parking only $8 down a side street, and we lucked out with a meter, even better.
