Industrial Park Records, the East Williamsburg-based label run by John Biz, a workhorse of a man who not only spent the entire showcase last night at the Tank — where the risers and folding chairs made the small bar seem more like rehearsal space than anything else –- introducing and promoting the artists, thanking everyone who’s been supportive of them, but also performing two sets himself. He’s certainly no one-trick pony. Besides Biz, who first appeared onstage as part of the Woodie Guthrie tribute band National Seashore and then with the punk-influenced and technical-difficulties-plagued John Biz & the Rolling Stallones, trippy duo Norris and a Bob-Dylan-esque set by Joey Weiss (aka Super Monster) both provided solid examples of what the label can do.

But the two standouts of the night couldn’t have sounded more different. The headliner Higgins, though billed as duo, had six musicians onstage, and in fact, the strength of the whole band, the interplay between the two guitars (sometimes three, when vocalist Kevin Fish would switch over from keys), the fantastic drumming of Brian Kantor, their indie-pop-meets-Led Zeppelin approach, was what made their seven-song performance memorable. Conversely, it was the individual capabilities of Jonathon, the kazoo/hi-hat/slide guitar/bass/drum-playing singer and sole permanent member of the Bones of Davey Jones, that were so impressive. Hints of Son House and Marty Robbins snuck through as Jonathon pounded and slapped his way through his own brand of new-folk swamp blues, the kind of music that makes your hair stand on end and your foot start tapping simultaneously. An impressive performance, to be sure, but certainly not the only one.
