Paging Alexandra Patsavas: Have you met Shel (due at the Bluebird tonight with Elephant Revival) yet? If not, you should definitely make their acquaintance.

While the practice of taking Reagan-era hard rock anthems, turning them inside out and remodeling them into something that even their own parents couldn’t pick out in a lineup is not exactly a new concept (Richard Cheese, anyone, or even Mark Kozelek, to an extent?), it can sometimes be entertaining…
