Last month, Two Boots pizzeria opened a new location at 284 5th Ave. in Park Slope, Brooklyn. The Cajun-themed pizza joint celebrated their grand opening with a night of free food, booze and live music by guitarist extraordinaire, Bumblefoot<\/a> and Brooklyn all female band, Sharkmuffin<\/a>. I walked through the doors and the place was packed, free slices of pizza were being given out at the counter along with wine and beer. A huge tray stacked with sliders made it through the room and they definitely had a kick which was provided by the key ingredient of Bumblefoot Hot Sauce. Yes, so not only is Bumblefoot presently in Guns N Roses but he also makes hot sauce. A band from the neighborhood, Sharkmuffin kicked off the live music portion of the night. The all female trio blasted through a set of songs that ran the gamut from pop, garage and punk rock. It was the first time for me to see the band play and I can’t wait to see them again which will be January 4, 2015 at Knitting Factory. According to the band’s website, their debut album \u201cChartreuse\u201d will be coming out in the summer of 2015 and features Patty Schemel (Hole) on drums.

Ron Thal a.k.a. Bumblefoot capped off the evening with his double neck guitar and classic metal and rock songs. He started out his set with a cover of “Used To Love Her” by Guns N’ Roses and an impromptu Kiss request of “Detroit Rock City.” He was joined by Tony Harnell<\/a> (lead singer of Norwegian power metal band TNT) for a few songs including a mashup of Boston’s “More Than a Feeling” and the Guns N’ Roses classic “Sweet Child O’ Mine.” Harnell was awesome along with Rachel Lorin<\/a> who also stepped on stage for a cover of a Heart song, “Alone.” I wish I recorded a video of her singing…whatta set of pipes! Great singing, powerful vocals. Definitely be on the look out for Rachel Lorin. My favorite part of the evening was when Tara of Sharkmuffin requested Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin'” which had everybody dropping their slices to move around and sing a long. It was a great moment and I left shortly after knowing it would be hard to top that. Check out some videos from that night below!<\/p>\n
