Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Shake and Stomp

f Dick Dale and Motörhead played beach blanket bingo with Annette Funicello and then wrote a killer album about the experience, said album might sound a lot like Eat Their Weight in Snakes, the debut effort from Montpelier’s Concrete Rivals. Ranked among the top-10 Vermont albums of 2011 by this very paper, the record was a gleeful, and at times gleefully sinister, fusion of slippery surf guitar and metal mayhem. Ring in the New Year with Concrete Rivals this Monday, December 31, at Charlie O’s in Montpelier.
