Bully, Broadway Calls set the stage for the Descendents

So, before the Descendents ripped it up at The Neptune in Seattle last Thursday, Bully (think Sonic Youth meets Bettie Serveert) and Broadway Calls (anthemic pop-punk) opened the show, which they also did the night before. Two solid bands to warm up the sold-out gigs.

As a bonus, Bully turned out a blistering cover of X-Ray Spex's "Oh Bondage Up Yours!" complete with a snarling singer and saxophone. Top notch.

Here's Cat Rose's photos of the bands:
