CONCERT REPORT: Dave Hause & The Mermaid cruise the East River (PHOTOS)

Upon first hearing that one of my favorite acts, Dave Hause & The Mermaid, was going to be playing a Rocks Off Cruise, I was a bit nervous. The idea of coupling a great show with the anxiety of being late for fear the venue would leave without me along with the possibility of motion sickness did not sit well with me. But I decided to give it a shot anyway. If I've learned anything from concert junkie life, it's that most of the time, it's worth it to plow past fears of the unknown to get to the good stuff.

Dave Hause, Against Me! and Bad Religion at Irving Plaza

Last week, the Vox Populi Tour kicked off its tour in the Northeast. I had the pleasure of catching two of those shows, one at the Paramount in Long Island, the other on the second night of their 2-night stand at Irving Plaza. Both shows were fantastic nights of Punk Rock.
