Brian Fallon of The Gaslight Anthem

Brian Fallon of The Gaslight Anthem performed at Bowery Ballroom in NYC on 12/19/08 opening for Jesse Malin. Meet Me By The River's Edge, my personal favorite by him/them. Amazing lyrics and the inspiration for the tattoo that will complete my back.

@justingarman Jesse did open for them on their last US tour. :)

@cbtvids Thats awesome.. and I meant no disrespect to Jess.. But Brian.. wow.. dudes songs are incredible.. and he seems like much more of a nicer guy haha.. I just wish Bruce would do a song with them on an album like he did with Jesse.. But then again it goes to show.. the respect the Boss gives to them is more than enough.. their music speaks for them.. Thanks Brian.. thanks GLA.. Best band in the past 10 years or so..

@justingarman@justingarman ha ha, I hear ya. I've seen them about 25/26 times...just can't get enough...amazing guys. Did you see Bruce playing with them in Hyde Park? That was awesome.... and pretty close to a song on an album :) Never know what the future will bring- so happy these guys have gone this far, makes me smile.

Hope you get to see them this tour. :)

I'd say they are underdogs - in this day in age when all you have to get a record deal is get your your emo bangs going, wear some tight jeans, act girly, and play shitty neo-metal disguised as punk rock.  All the bands that played decent music are now lost in the shit sea that is the Emo-Metal scene. To paraphrase TGA "Nobody does it like them anymore" TGA bringing back great punk rock/rock music.

I just got "No Retreat. No Regrets." tatted on my wrists yesterday. I love this band and this song so much!

I remember listening to one of their EP's over and over again, because I could not find any of their other releases. it hit me like a wave and everything they have done has just blown me away every time.
