Firstly, BRUTAL KNIGHTS turned the Pit’s once again into an incredible moshpit with people & beers constantly flying through the air & great tunes being played at a devastating tempo. Add a very entertaining singer/stand-up comedian & a cool club vibe and you get what I call the ultimate gig. Oh what a night!
Two days later, I went to see KING PLEASURE & THE BISCUIT BOYS in my hometown and I wish I had brought my camera along because the band was a real treat for the eye with their blue tuxedos & cool instruments (standup bass, saxophones, piano, etc.). The music was absolutely killer: pure 50’s swing the way it is meant to be played: rocking’ & rolling! The band played a bunch of awesome covers like The Champs’ “Tequila” & Louis Prima’s “Oh Marie”. Thumbs up too for the opening band TIPITINA whose line-up existed of the piano player and drummer of The Biscuit Boys and a charming retro lady who had a great voice and lifted the fine covers by Dr. John, Nina Simone & Ray Charles to new heights. Unfortunately, the show was criminally under attended which, on the other hand, resulted in a lot of space on the dance floor. Something you definitely need when King Pleasure & The Biscuit Boys are in the house!
