Before The Gaslight Anthem plays a historic venue, they like to look up all the weird little facts and history on Wikipedia, like any normal person does. For The Roxy Theatre on Hollywood’s famed Sunset Strip, this means stories of The Rocky Horror Show’s first stage run in the US, as well as the introduction of Paul Reubens’ Pee-wee Herman. If neither of those are enough reason to headline that stage, we don’t know what is. 

For anyone who missed the live webcast of The Gaslight Anthem’s Brooklyn show this past week, we caught them at their sold out show in Hollywood. More photos are on our Flickr.

Also, they do a killer cover of “Baba O’Riley,” if you’re into that sort of thing, which we are.

Grab a seat and check out another clip from Christofer Drew’s recent in-store at our Santa Monica store. This track is a little unreleased gem titled “Good Times.” He swears the song sounds better with a harmonica on hand, but we think it’s pretty fantastic anyway. So much so that we should probably just set up a beachside bonfire and have him play all night while we roast some marshmallows, harmonica or no.

The Never Shout Never frontman stopped by our Santa Monica store for a secret in-store performance in celebration of the Vans Warped Tour documentary No Room For Rockstars, available now on iTunes.
