These pale brits with shiny shoes, shiny guitars and a piano as a most potent weapon, stormed the small stage at MWTX armed to the missing teeth.

The Jim Jones Revue bounced their duck tails and black slacks all over the stage and made plenty of new fans who rushed towards the merch girl following their incendiary set.
