11/17/07 - Aquatudes,
Clams, and more in CT
Thank you to all the bands that played last night, The Aquatudes, The Clams,
The Knuckledusters and Big Fat Combo. The turn out was phenomenal and the music
was equally spectacular. Many hugs & kisses to Rockabilly Willy, Bobby D,
Perilous Cheryl, Joey Zone, Joey the doorman and most of John Carlo, the owner
of the Zen Bar for just being such a great guy.
The music started with The Aquatudes rippin' up the reverb playing both
originals and classics. Tom, Dick & Fred are so tight you would never have
guessed this was their first appearance as a trio. The Knuckledusters brought
down the house when they hit the stage. The saxophones and the vocals blended
well with an incredibly powerful bass & skins combo. Together, this five member
band from Boston, got the fans in the club a hoppin' and a boppin'.
Next up, Big Fat Combo, who opened with Folsom Prison Blues. This set the stage
for a full dance floor for the next 45 minutes. Who could sit still when BFC
plays? No One! Closing the night, The Clams. They were stripped down trio with a
new bass player, Scott to his family, but to me, he's smokin'! The night ended
the night much like it began,
reverb-erating and wet. I love when the Clams just play it & say it like
it is, surf, plain and simple. No vocals needed when you have musicians like
Dano, Brain and S'clam (Scott + Clam = ...)
And if the music wasn't enough for you, we also gave away 5 raffle prizes that
night, including 4 tickets to the next show which is...
