I caught Township a few months back, opening for Buffalo's Handsome Jack. The band (from Boston, Mass) had my attention from the get-go, especially with the song "Highway," which has this irresistible build to it; it's now one of my favorite driving songs. The buzz at the show was late 70's sound, and comparisons to Faces and Lynyrd Skynyrd were made; all I know is, when the band locked eyes with the audience and said "Let's get sexy," (tearing out the song "Big Bad") it made me get sexy, too. Township swung through here again last month, playing the Club at Water Street; now it's back to the Bug Jar. Aww. Rochester likes you, too, Township.
Township plays Saturday, May 17, 9 p.m. at the Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Avenue. Tickets cost $6. For more information call 454-2966.
