King Buzzo

As if he could play a show that was anything short of awesome... Love the new stuff, too.

Great stage presence - a nice blend of acoustic Melvins covers, new acoustic tracks, and comedy. King Buzzo is a surprisingly funny storyteller and keeps the audience engaged both musically and verbally. Really great overall experience. You can get some acoustic headbanging in along with some laughs - total package to me.

Buzzo still has it, big time--his voice, his lyrics and guitar-playing. Very engaging and fun. He really connects with the audience, which clearly was into his music. He talked about how different it is to do solo--it's a challenging step, which he nailed.

The incredible attentiveness of the audience during the set was a true testament to the sheer power of Buzz s performance. Never have I witnessed a solitary musician with a mere acoustic guitar enthrall an audience in this manner, and even in comparison to the gig at the Satellite, Buzz appears to have taken his show to a whole another level. His presentation of great new solo material and barebones renditions of Melvins covers, it has to be said, is right up there with the finest live performances I ve had the fortune of experiencing this year so far, and it was the kind of show that would make anyone and everyone in the audience forget about their day-to-day miseries and put a genuine smile on the face. If you happen to reside in any of the 40 cities he s taking the remainder of his tour to, do not miss the chance to be a part of the King Buzzo experience.
