I was no fool walking into Thunder Road Saturday night, April 1. Thunder Road is a Rock and Roll club on Somerville Avenue near Union Square. With its stage and acoustics, this is as good a venue as the old and revered Johnny D’s.
Bad Marriage was playing. They are metal influenced band but they still did a bit of rhythm and blues. I say a bit because I walked in about midnight and they can only play until 12:45. What I did hear was electric.
The band, basic rock and roll – three guitars, a drummer and a lead singer – offered up a 15 minute rendition Jailbreak, which was enough to get me to write about them here.
I caught a lucky break seeing them. No foolin’.

Rock and Roll will save your soul. I’m glad Mr. Sullivan liked the show. I recently saw Green Day in Worcester-they were outstanding.
If you want a great musical experience, attend the Festival of Quebec in Quebec City in July. It’s a 10 day event that only cost about 100 dollars Canadian. The city is beautiful, the people are wonderful, and they have music in stages and venues around the city. THe big acts play at the Plains of Abraham which is a historical battlefield and fort.
I’ve seen Roger Waters perform the Wall there, The Rolling Stones, Duran Duran, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and many other acts. Some of the acts scheduled for this year include the Who, Muse, Lady Antebellum, and the BackStreet Boys.
It is a good time in a great city of culture and people.
