Wednesday, April 23

Davey’s Uptown Rambler’s Club

By JASON HARPER

Last night’s show at Davey’s was marked by one thing I hadn’t seen at a rock show in a while: sweat. I’m not talking oh-he’s-working-up-a-bit-of-a-sweat sweat that you expect to see from a musician exerting himself whilst wailing and playing the power chords and doing the drums. I mean full-body, running-off-nose, dripping-off-ends-of-hair, arcing-through-the-stage-lights, hyphen-enducing rock S-W-E-A-T.

Look closely at this picture of opener no. 2, Dropsonic. See that dark pattern on the bass player’s shirt that makes like a shadow around the edge of his bass? OMG!!!
