Let me start by saying this type of music is way out of my normal wheelhouse. When their first CD was released, I read something about it somewhere and thought they might be fun to see live. I took advantage of the opportunity when they played this small club in my hometown. 
Dissapointed I was not. Combining equal parts aggressive rock and roll with sex (the show opened with a pre-recorded orgasm, presumably Taylor's) provided an interesting sight and sound experience. Much has been written about Taylor Momsen's actress turned rocker life, all by the age of 20.   
What struck me odd about this show is that all the lighting came from stage rear, and the stage was constantly barraged with smoke. Between the two, it was difficult to get a good look at her or the band, perhaps by design.
The show was really good, the sound was great and the band was tight. Check these guys out live if you get a chance, and pick up their soon to be released CD "Going To Hell". Their two prior releases, "Light Me Up" and "Hit Me Like A Man" are pretty darn good too!
