Remember cowpunk -- Jason and the Scorchers, Lone Justice, et al? The Richmond-based Palominos pick up that torch and make it rock freaking hard, with some interesting neo-Southern rock touches. This band could easily get big, and this would be a good time to catch a show.

  the Palominos, Emily Easterly and Prabir and the Substitutes the same
  way a California-scene veteran living in Laurel canyon probably looks
  back on a show that featured Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Joni Mitchell
  and the Byrds all on the same bill. Or maybe the show will be sparsely
  attended and someone will forget his capo-you can never tell. But how
  silly would you feel 30 years later knowing that you passed up a show of such high caliber? Our advice:Take this chance to see three of the
  area's best. the Palominos, Emily Easterly and Prabir & the Substitutes
  play Bogart's on Thursday."

The drummer performed the best solo of the night while the slightly older crowd grooved hard to the band's Johnny Cash-like Southern-rock style. Palominos used a decent blend of vocal harmonies with a 12-bar blues form in several songs that are essential in the Richmond-bar band repertoire.
