| "How Can I Choose" |
|
Last night I saw a great
lineup of bands at The Silverlake Lounge, including two bands whose 2014
releases made my list of favorite CDs of the year. Kicking off the night were
The Evangenitals, whose
Moby Dick; Or,
The Album is on that list. They started their set with “Ahab’s Leg,” a nice
slow version like that on the album, and followed that with “Just Stay Away.”
Because they were a foursome last night, with Juli Crockett and Lisa Dee backed
by just bass and drums, “Just Stay Away” had a more stripped down sound, with
Joey Maramba’s delicious bass being very prominent. “Quee Queg” was performed
with more of a funky R&B bass line and “sha-ba-dooby-doo” vocals. They also
did a couple of covers:
a nice, slow
version of The Dead Milkmen’s “Dean’s Dream” from the album
Big Lizard In My Backyard, and an
excellent rendition of “Live And Let Live,” a country song made popular by
Marty Robbins. And it’s always a treat to hear the incredibly fun “How Can I Choose.”
Set List
- Ahab's Leg
- Just Stay Away
- Quee Queg
- Dean's Dream
- Turbulent Flow
- How Can I Choose

- (I am having trouble recalling the name of this one)
Here are a few photos
