British boys love to rock, and The Maccabees are no exception. Last night I caught their sold-out show at Mercury Lounge and enjoyed the guitar riffs of another new wave of Englishmen. I’ve always been a huge fan of The Cribs and The Rakes -- also from England. The Maccabees’ tunes, I’d say, definitely fall within a similar vein. I invited one of my editors from BlackBook, and friend, Miss Eiseley Tauginas, to come with. Eiseley met me out front of Mercury around 8:30ish; we grabbed drinks inside and watched the boys' performance.
