The Burren was packed when I arrived late after
a birthday celebration with the family at Barcelona on Mass Ave
outside of Porter Square. I dug a couple of outliers on the tapas
menu - patatas brava, chorizo with sweet and sour figs, and a
crisp, Valencian gin cocktail. All this celebrating caused me
to miss Muck and all but the last two hard-rocking
numbers by The Chelsea Curve.
All three bands come from garage and punk counties with a river of mod connecting
their outposts. The Burren Back Room has a palpable energy
pulsing through it.
The Len Price 3 (which one is Len? bah bump) waste no time
and grab the live wire. They give back to the crowd as much as they take.

The tunes are snappy with snotty, 8 bar guitar solos by singer Glenn
Page. Steve Huggins was a danger to the teeth in the
front row with his literally well-swung bass. Neil Fromow pushed
and pulled everyone around with his quick fills, and martial, rat ta tat tat
drums.
The size of the crowd allowed the Burren to shit can most of the tables. This
gives the crowd room to shake their booties. Most don't hesitate. The night
was close, sweaty and full of British invasion redux kick-ass rock n roll.
The band had had only three well-received prior hit and run US shows. This three
date mini-tour certainly convinced Len Price 3 that the Yanks
will come out to see them. The band is already in talks with Bootleg
Dan Presents to do a longer run in 2024. Keep your ears open.
