Remember the Falcon?

A few years ago one of the most exciting local acts was a band called The Falcon. Known for the sexed up, dirty 70s rock and roll sound, they released a CD called Hello Panther before a spat with another band over the Falcon name and other drama put them out of action. For a while some of the band members played under the name Righteous Animal. Those days are over now as The Falcon made a triumphant return Saturday night to help The Space celebrate their first night as a licensed purveyor of alcohol.

The turnout was great, easily the most packed I've ever seen the venue. It was also the loudest I'd ever heard a band there. I made the mistake I standing right next to a stack of speakers and my ears were ringing all Sunday. The crowd was into it, the band was slicked up to hell and back and everyone bought drinks. A successful night by any measure. The Falcon have a few more shows lined up for the next month or two and I encourage you all to check them out. Hopefully Mickey, Chris, David and Timmy are working on a bunch more songs and will favor us with another record soon.

In the mean time, here's The Falcon playing "Alcohol and Nicotine" from Saturday night.
