It seemed like the Rock and Roll Hotel had two distinct crowds last night — those who came to see openers Office and headliners Robbers on High Street, and those who came to see local mood rockers Monopoli. Monopoli had the biggest crowd, but the Monopoli fans who left or went upstairs before Robbers on High Street did themselves a disservice.

New York’s Robbers on High Street are one of those bands that are simply good. They’re five guys who have a good time on stage and play catchy, head bobbing, fun indie music. They didn’t get as much exposure on the New York indie scene as some other bands, but their debut EP “Fine Lines” and album “Tree City” were both excellent, and this tour is supporting their new EP, “The Fatalist and Friends.”
