News Update - October 27, 2009 The Forgotten Rebels played at the Reverb as part of NXNE on June 18, 2009! There's a review over at 'Too High To Get It Right' saying that there wasn't a very good turn out. Unfortunately I wasn't alerted to this gig or more people might have shown up. There's video on YouTube of the Rebels playing Angry and some pictures on Flickr so you can almost feel like you didn't miss it. Looks like a song, possibly from the upcoming album, called 'She Said No' was played! |
