Weekend: Keith Sweat, Adam Warrock, Hugh Cornwell & Glen Matlock, Treasure Fingers, Arizona Legends
Say "Sex Pistols" and the names Sid Vicious and Johnny Rotten might come to mind. Less likely is someone shouting out, "Glen Matlock." But they should; not only is he the band's original bassist, but drummer Paul Cook suggests he wrote most of the songs on the infamous Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols. 
Glen Matlock with Rich Kids
He was replaced in the band by Vicious, but hardly retired from the spotlight, forming the awesome Rich Kids and penning the classic new wave/power-pop jam "Ghosts of Princes in Towers" with his bandmate Steve New. He's played with Primal Scream, the reformed Sex Pistols, and most recently, The Faces, a band that probably would be considered kinda proto-punk if not for that whole Rod Stewart thing.
Matlock is playing Crescent Ballroom with Hugh Cornwell of The Stranglers on Saturday night. It's one of our must see gigs this weekend. Read on to listen to Matlock and see our other picks.
