As You Were

I didn't expect nearly that large a crowd from a local band, but As You Were filled the House of Blues. They have a great sound, a throw back from the rock giants of the 80s and early 90s. Frontman Jeff has an incredible voice that fit well even with the ballad they played. Lead guitarist Mike displayed quite the mastery of his instrument. And the synchronized hair-spinning of bass and rythm guitarists Dave and Steven was something I haven't seen at a show since the turn of the millenium. Not to mention AJ on the drums in the back, dwarfed by his set and yet commanding an impressive presence over the entire venue. My only complaint about the show is that the set seemed a little bit short. 45 minutes for a headlining band seems a trifle scant. But I would attend again in a heartbeat!
