The Glorious Sons
This is a band I have just recently been turned on to and wanted to check them out while they were in town. I think they were an interesting fit on this bill, they don’t have the same sound as the other bands but they seem to pull from similar influences. These guys are still pretty new to the scene and it was quite obvious in their interactions with the crowd but that will come with time. One thing that really stood out to me was how spot on they sounded. Personally I preferred their live sound to what I had heard recorded, definitely a good quality to have especially in such a new band. While they still have a lot of growing to do, I’m excited to see where these guys go.
Otherwise
I have a love hate relationship with this band, I have seen them quite a few times at both large festivals, and in smaller clubs but its always a toss up whether you’ll get a good show out of them or not. Don’t get me wrong their sound it pretty consistently on point but sometimes I feel a huge disconnect between the band and the crowd. Tonight was one of those nights. Frontman, Adrian Patrick will usually be the life of the show, getting in your face and making an effort to personally connect with people in the crowd. This night in particular he lingered towards the back of the stage more than normal and just seemed a little reserved. Guitarist and brother, Ryan Patrick really seemed to pick up the slack and be the life of the set.
10 Years
Every time 10 years comes to town I go out of my way to check them out. While these guys never have an over the top show with theatrics and light shows they are a very talented group of musicians. The last time I saw them was about a year ago around the corner from this particular venue where they did an acoustic set. I was blown away. This night they did a full electric set and featured a healthy mix of songs both old and new. Great to see these guys again and looking forward to seeing more of them soon!
