In the words of Emmet McGuire, guitarist extraordinaire, a living clone with TWO Y-chromosomes, those of Jimmy Page and Jack White, "hope you liked it". In the words of Lerone Howard, a light man with a voice so heavy he hit my camera's resonant frequency, "all good children go to heaven". Jordan Groleau, the transient bassist, merely smiled sardonically and jammed away, traveler to his chosen realm. Elliot Sapala generated consistently good and sometimes surprisingly good beats, falling in and out of the lime (and magenta) light in a good way.
The
set consisted of a few well chosen covers and some excellent original
jams, all in the general blues-rock sphere. Lerone's voice is very
powerful, cool through depth and rasp beyond his years, and I haven't
heard one like it on stage in too long. The guitar solos were fun and
continuous and imbued elements from guitarists like Jack White and
Stevie Ray Vaughan.
The band is good, and part of the local Ann Arbor community, I'll try to post up about any shows they play in the future, they deserve to be heard.
