» Remember that time (last week) we claimed that the world was in the midst of another "mini-metal renaissance", and that one of the bands leading that charge was Big Business - who we saluted for their ability to make sounds that might call to mind the bone cracking bang of pot paraphernalia onto human cranium? Well, the trio made their way to Brooklyn a few nights ago, and photographer Serena Herrick was there to catch all the hands being raised to the sky during both Big Business and their traveling partners Tweak Bird's sets, a potent combination that inspired many long hairs to pre-game by chugging copious amounts of cheap Polish beer under the BQE.
