You know, I don't really know how to review it. I liked it far less than the other five people I was with....
Factually, they played for a total of 42 minutes (that's the main set and a two song encore). Though the band is just the two of them, they had a drumer and another guitarist, likely session musicians. Thank freakin' god, because the only person who looked like he was enjoying playing at all was the session guitarist. He was very good, and really hysterical -- he'd rock out, then suddenly go deadpan (I think the deadpan schtick was him mocking Sharin Foo and Sune Rose Wagner -- Sharin appeared as if she was in a coma, and Sune, then, was damn well dead).
That said, the music was great. Much better live than on record (when you're listening to the album, it gets repetitively "wall of noise," but live you feel the variations much more). So, on that front, it was pretty cool. But they as a band were just so uninspiring.
Crowd was small, but the folks there were really getting into it, which made me all the more pissed at Sharin and Sune.
So, that's the nutshell from me. Have to say, though I went anyway and probably would have gone with The Sounds initially on the bill, it was The Sounds I was really looking forward to. If anyone knows why they cancelled, I'd be interested to know. Hope they make up the date sometime.
And by the way, the folks I went with enjoyed it more. They dug the music, and weren't as dismayed with the band as I was. So....
