The band played selections from the CD (“You Think You Know Me,” “The Alamo”) and previewed new unrecorded music during the set. Glad Rags’ immediate plans are to spend the winter months recording with a new full length planned for release early next year.
Meanwhile, 1990s rockers Garbage played to a nearly sold-out house at The Riviera on Oct. 17 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their second album, Version 2.0 (on Almo Sounds Records). Led by frontwoman Shirley Manson, the band roared through the album (“Temptation Waits,” “Special”), while offering favorites from its 25-year career (“The Trick is to keep Breathing,” “Afterglow,” “Deadwood,” “You Look so Fine”).
