Saturday night I finally was able to see I Rock I Roll recommended the Changes (via Chicago). I arrived at the Mercury Lounge just before 10pm as the boys were finishing setting up their gear.
This band has a couple hands in the Eighties...but that's cool and so is their sound. This was showcased on one particular song for me, 'The Machine', a pulsing up tempo dance groove. Many times throughout the night it seemed as if the lead singer attended Tom Jones' school of vocal delivery.
Standout: the drummer. This guy can play and it appeared as if he was the only one actually into the gig. He earned the lunch pail for sure.
It's a shame that it took until the final song for the house to really begin to move. I guess that's what a few shows in a row in the city will do to a band. I look forward to seeing them again though!
Check out their myspace page for song samples...
