What do all bands need to be SUCCESSFUL these days? ORIGINAL KICK ASS, DRIVING SONGS, and of course, a repertoire of COVERS! Kicking off the night, the band, in its THREE-PIECE FORM of SEAN, DOM, AND JUSTIN kicked things off with a cover of JEFFERSON STARSHIPS “JANE”. The cover songs didn’t stop there, as the SWEATPANTS once again showed why they are FREELANCE.
Various genres were PLAYED, TRIBUTES PAID, and with the arrival of AJ and influences of JOHN BORKOWSKI and MILLER LITE, the magic flowed as QUICKLY AS THE BEERS. Kicking off the night was a moving tribute to LEGEND STEVE HARWELL. SMASH MOUTH laid many musical BRICKS to build the FOUNDATION OF THE HOUSE OF THE SWEATPANTS. The tribute to STEVE HARWELL came in form of an ON-THE-SPOT cover of the SMASH MOUTH classic “WALKING ON THE SUN”. No rehearsal NEEDED. Expect to see the moving TRIBUTE within the coming days.
Speaking of CONSTRUCTION, what is needed to lay the foundation of a good song? A BRIDGE. SEAN made the discovery of a LOST BRIDGE to “OTHERSIDE”. Like INDIANA JONES discovering the ARC, the BRIDGE was like looking back into HISTORY. Like most discoveries, it was RESTORED properly before TOP MEN could take it away FOREVER.
MORE COVERS followed in the evening as the band tackled a potential new rendition of BLACK SABBATH’S “N.I.B.”. The group then put focus to their LIVE SHOW. While most artists would simply walk TO THE STAGE to ENNIO MORRICONE’S music, the band decided to just PLAY IT. What better way to capture the attention of OPEN MIC attendees than to play it before launching into “DAY IN/ DAY OUT”? SIMPLY AWESOME STUFF HERE PEOPLE!
As for those WARM HUGS, the BAND jammed on that for the remainder of the show. Couple WARM HUGS with a rendition of HIGH ON A PLANE, you got a band that’s more together than the script for the last INDIANA JONES film. RUN ON SENTENCE, I know. You got a problem with it? It’s MY BLOG.
More cool BAND NEWS to come, expect BIG THINGS within the COMING WEEKS!
