9:30 now looks more like 10:30
I think I am out for tonight
yep....very interesting crowd. i think there was a family or two with kids there, as well as some older couples and possibly tourists probably looking for some jazz on a thursday night. at least it started out that way. i think some might have left after a little while but i didnt look back enough during the show to tell when. other than that it looked like there were maybe 20 or 25 students that looked about 18-20 years old and they were all really into it. the recital hall was actually a really cool place to hear them play. the description of an "intimate venue" was pretty accurate.
they played one great set for slightly over 2 hours and definitely played a huge variety of styles for everyone. i always suck at remembering setlists from the night before, but i think they started off with shotgun butterfly and then synergy. i forget the order of the rest, but there was a great cut me some slack, a really sick puppetry, and a blessing in the skies. highlight for me was eschers 3&4. the set ended with a crazy tunage complete with drum solo, bass solo, and a homework solo by jordan which was the most hilarious thing all night. encore was question.
overall it was a pretty awesome thursday night i would say. it definitely was an interesting experience seeing them at this type of setting, which is pretty different from the usual bar show. the stage was really nice and it definitely seemed as though the band were on display as an art exhibit of some sort. got the feeling that most people there had not heard of them before or maybe had seen them once or something, but they were all dancing and into it for the whole set so that was really cool. it was a very fun atmosphere and the band killed. adrians solo felt close to about 10 min and was insane at times. pretty good for a thursday night
good stuff. thanks for the review.
homework solo? i\'ve seen him play a setlist solo, where he blew on the piece of paper that the setlist was on to get a kazoo-like effect going. was it similar to that, or was he doing some calculus problems on an overhead projector?
haha no, it was the kazoo effect. it was a solid 2-3 min of it. sounded awesome.
thanks for the review. that sounds pretty awesome. wish i could have been there.
Really good venue, great place to see the band. Let\'s do it again!!!!!!!....Whineberg.
Was the grand piano used at all?
it was nowhere to be seen
