Reckless Kelly @ The Viper Room: December 1, 2005

The last time I got to see Reckless Kelly perform live, I drove all the way out to Las Vegas (poor me!) to see them open for Dwight Yoakam. That, much like the sets I've seen them perform in their native Austin, was only a forty-minute set, hardly enough time to satisfy the hard-core Reckless Kelly fan. Fortunately, they FINALLY made an apperance in the So Cal area on December 1 at the legendary (err, perhaps 'notorious' is a better word here) Viper Room on the Sunset Strip. The boys put on their usual spectacular show, playing all the expected Reckless Kelly favorites, but dropping their normal rustic sound on a few songs for a more rocking groove - catering perhaps to the less twangy LA scene? Regardless, a great show from a great band at a great venue.
