[from Nashville, TN] a
skinny boy flouncing around in the audience kept catching my eye because he was
wearing ridiculously short retro (80s) basketball shorts with the upcut thigh
and an old-school sports tank top – by the time he made it on stage there was a
foxtail attached to his shorts – silly boy – so they started their set with
silly boy on the ground playing guitar and enthusiastic
Bruce-Springsteen-drummer on stage (thrashed his head in time with the drumming
throughout the WHOLE of their set) – of course, the crowd was moved by this
novel approach but their sound kept the crowd in their grip – it was kind of
incredible – so intense and full, it seemed impossible that two people were
making it – they were channeling the spirit of Tia Carrera (local psych metal
band) but were far more upright and composed – they were, in essence, a garage
jam band, but the one you wish you’d been - there was a lot of Black Sabbath
riffing but, in the end, I’d classify them as a dark Cheap Trick - I predict
that punk-power-pop is the wave of the future (Photo courtesy
