[from Austin TX] uhhh… Chili Cold Blood. Spot
on. But a lot slicker and so less appealing, at least to me. They were grinding
electric blues with a touch of metal and some harmonica. Sexy boys with sexy
guitars. An emo-looking boy sang and performed a blues storm with his slide.
The crowd was somewhat cold to them - maybe they were inauthentic (in their
contrived get-ups) or maybe the crowd was hipster snooty. Their sound was
polished and full, their instruments were glossy and gorgeous, and as much as
all of this was good, I got the impression that they were privileged and
totally out of touch with what the blues is about. (Photo courtesy of http://gay.do512.com/events/2009/10/3/acl-after-show)
