making a statement about increas-
ing wage discrepancy: “It’s lonely
at the top and claustrophobic at
the bottom.” Closing this impres-
sive assault on the senses, soul
and mind is the Black Sabbath-like
“Death Wish,” a morbid affair with
a fat bottom that would make Tony
Iommi proud.
You also can catch the fierce four-
some this summer at Mad Libera-
tion Festival in the Pine Barrens of
Hammonton for their third year
running. Mad Lib will take place
the first weekend in August with
nonstop music, arts and camping,
including a headlining set by New
Brunswick indie rockers Scream-
ing Females.
Hopefully, Sunny Gang will be
able to stay out of those cubicles
long enough to announce more
shows for the fall. In the meantime,
check out “American Carnage.”
It’s well worth your time.
