After a strong performance at the Allido CMJ showcase last month that won over a lot of new fans, England’s The Rumble Strips returned to New York, this time at Santos Party House on Monday for a follow up show.  With a longer set than last time the guys were able to run through a stellar set including a lot of material from their debut album.  Fans were also given a chance to check out new cuts from Cardboard Coloured Dreams, the new four track EP that comes out today.  The Rumble Strips are a fun live band, really a nice cross between pop rock and a little classic ska element to it all.   Charlie Waller fronts the band with vocals and guitars supported by sharp trumpet and sax.  ‘Time,’ their big single overseas which never really broke stateside is the perfect example of a typical song by them.

Lissy Trullie followed…don’t really know the group that well and can’t say it was really what most readers on here would be that in to as the main attraction for the night was The Rumble Strips.  Trullie played quite a long set capped off by an interesting rendition of Biz Markie’s ‘Just A Friend.’

Other guests for the night included a performance from Adam Green of The Moldy Peaches and a DJ set from Mark Ronson.  More photos inside….
