Joan Jett @ First Avenue
From
today's A-List: "Though it's true that she never really went anywhere, Joan Jett is back.
Sinner, the tough new studio disc she released earlier this year, kicks as hard as anything she did in her early-'80s heyday—maybe harder, if you don't have a terribly high opinion of George Bush or Donald Rumsfeld, both of whom she nails on "Riddles." Jett's live show remains sharp, too: Dangerously svelte in a leopard-print bikini top onstage at CBGB this past summer, she sent nostalgia trippers packing with a fresh guitar snarl and undimmed queer-core fury. Openers Eagles of Death Metal, a self-consciously sleazy groove-punk act featuring Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme on drums, love rock 'n' roll."
