This past Friday night, Les Vinyl, along with Paragraph, rocked Maxwell’s in Hoboken.

Don’t believe me? The great music journalist Emily Tan even gave them a write-up on Hoboken Patch:

The band’s carefree and fun attitude and music makes them so much fun to watch on stage. And Jost’s humor just adds to Les Vinyl’s charm as he continuously made Tiger Woods jokes and even did quirky covers of R. Kelly’s “I Believe I Can Fly” and “Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It” by Will Smith.

Rhythm guitarist Jenny Miller holds her own as she shows that girls know how to play just as well (or even better) than the boys can while bassist Mike Carlo adds a flavor to the Les Vinyl sound and rounds everything out. And when everyone thought Cymbals Eat Guitars are the only bright-eyed band of young musicians to come out of Staten Island, Les Vinyl prove that they’ve also got the musical chops.

She forgot to mention Pat on drums, but we’ll take it.
