Let's get this out of the way first...
Seeing as there are two drummers in The Veltereers, would have nkotb been triggered in anyway. Well given all the antics a dual drummer setup could offer there was no stick twirling or throwing witnessed. Possibly just party fouls, but there was dousing the audience with water, having a person in the front row hold up a floor tom so it could be drummed on and well one of the drummers goes by Baby.
Anyways, The Veltereers lived up to expectations live. I thoroughly enjoyed their debut album with hooks, riffs and get stuck in your head lyrics for awhile and the chance to see them live finally came about. Demi has a great rock and roll voice and stage presence. Since she also plays a Baritone guitar it givens them a more unique sound. The added bonus of course is the two in sync drummers pounding away and sharing a cymbal and hi-hat. One of the drummer, not Baby, also plays keyboards. Solid 40 minute set and hopefully a second album and more local appearances are on tap for them.
On to The Blue Stones who held my attention for about 15 minutes... Just generic alt rock performed by a duo and after seeing the Veltereers with their primal drumming and stand on the drums guitar playing it was time for to head for the exits. Honestly, The Blue Stones are that band one usually has to wait through to see a headliner, not bad just not all that engaging...
