Dust n' Bones

Guns n' Roses made some awesome music back in the day, but still I've never purchased a CD or even a single track of their catalog. The radio and TV always seemed to provide enough of their music to quench my Guns n' Roses thirst. So it is with some surprise that I have found I LOVE a local Guns n' Roses tribute band called Dust n' Bones. Dust n' Bones performed at half time during the Minnesota Rollergirls roller derby bout at Roy Wilkins last night. Our pal, Nickie (a.k.a. Lil Hellion), is a member of the Garda Belts team and her boyfriend, Erick, is the Axl Rose of Dust n' Bones. The bout was exciting and fun from our rinkside seats, and then we watched as Axl changed costumes several times during the performance and listened to Erick's voice, eerily close to the real thing. After the bout we returned to Station 4, the official bar of the Minnesota Rollergirls, for a longer performance by fantastic Dust n' Bones. It feels weird, but I'm a reformed Guns n' Roses fan!
