[from Tucson, AZ] I haven’t stopped
giggling at this band yet. They fit (almost) every caricature of an 80s ‘heavy’
metal band. CAUTIONARY: This may be more a reflection of my age and personal
bias than the actual quality of this band. Drummer with a red bandana singing
in a quasi-screamo but totally 80s metal growl. They’re basically a hard rock,
driving hard, metal-hard, with touches of Lynyrd Skynyrd and some real blues
grooves. While the guitarist in the camouflage baseball cap was incongruous and
cute, the bassist member was Will-Ferrell-as-a-metal-head incarnate, with the
grandiose swagger and smirks and an upswung arm in some pagan salute at the end
of each song, plus a cheesy haircut and goatee to boot. They were old (mid-40s)
and the crowd was too. The girls, sorry women, were embarrassing me and should
have been embarrassing themselves with their obvious efforts at behaving like
metal groupies… at the age of 47… Oh! And there were some devil horns thrown
too! (Photo courtesy of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vhJhWfVZII)
