Notorious music biz impresario Kim Fowley commences this rawest of live LPs: “Is everyone ready for the next step in the evolution of pagan rock & roll music?” Sharing a name with its bandleader, this NYC blues-punk trio wastes zero precious time. Daddy Long Legs snarls long and hard while huffin’ thick, wailin’ harp across guitarist Murat Aktürk’s juicy chording and Josh Styles’ pounding drums. Sidewindin’ tales like “Blood From a Stone” and “Long John’s Jump,” plus the single’s recent studio workout of “The Stranger Rides Tonight,” makes DLL’s message abundantly clear: “Forget the danger – think of the fun!” (Wed., 9:30pm, Hotel Vegas Patio; Thu., 1am, Antone’s)
