The night started out early for me. I meet a friend down at the first floor bar and we caught up. Which is weird because we had really come to see the bands. I an Brenda sat and waited for two hours for the band to start, but they didn't come on. Brenda was feeling tired so she went home. I walked her to her car and scooted back to the show.
My roommate, Dave showed up and we talked awhile with he bartender.
Then the music started. Well not really, but the solo artist that acted as the opener started to play. It was ok and descent as far as acoustical versions of Nirvana go.
The stage darkened and them mayhem brook loose. The stage went from one person playing a beat up guitar to four singers, 2 guitarist, a bass player, keyboardist and drummer. The sound barrier was broken by some of the tightest music I have heard in awhile. Shades of Rehab.
Now the Villebilles are a group from Tennessee. The play hip-hop/rock/country but with a twist. Think about the Rolling Stones doing a duet with Eminem. Weird but some how hauntingly pleasing to the ears and the booty as I began to move with-out know it. Sans drink in my body to affect my inhibitions I found myself moving and bouncing to the catchy tunes. "whiskey" started off our tour de-force of the trailer park and surrounding areas. Call it "White Trash Rap", "Trailer Park Funk", I really don't care. This music makes you move and shake you money maker.
The crowd was thin, but these cats played as hard as if they faced thousands. The four front men of the ban know how to mix with the crowd and get them part of the whole experience. I wait with great expectations of seeing these guys rock a full house at the Canal Club next time. No dream there, only cold hard fact.
