Tess Parks and Friends - Cigarettes & Alcohol

Full review to follow. Now in its third year (perhaps long enough to call it a Hallowe'en tradition!) Death to T.O. filled the Silver Dollar and Comfort Zone with a non-stop night of music — no less than thirteen bands doing mini cover sets in full costume. Many of the bands chose to pay tribute to artists they felt a close artistic kinship with, and that was no exception here. But beyond fandom, it also places Parks in rock'n'roll's ongoing spectrum — her debut album will be coming out this month on 359 Music, a new venture from Alan McGee, who just happened, of course, to sign Oasis once upon a time.
