““Still got it” is an understatement. Even though the trio does not perform with a bassist, it’s not missed at all as Spencer lays the foundation using two low-tuned and fuzz heavy guitars and rocking a double Theremin. (Jimmy Page used a Theremin during his infamous violin bow solo) The tasteful licks from guitar man Judah Bauer are the icing on an upside down cake while drummer Russell Simins literally beats the hell out of his drums Keith Moon style with nearly perfect rhythm. I think he kicks back just enough to keep the groove locked in to match the greasy feel of the songs overall.
The setlist was a cornucopia of awesomeness, which come to think of it, I didn’t see a written setlist anywhere on the stage. No surprise. Regardless, there were the classics, the “hits” (if you can call them that) and my personal favorite of the night, the return to style called “Bag of Bones” from the 2012’s Meat and Bone. It’s arguably one of the band’s finest moments not too mention one of the best records to come out that year.” – rocknrollcocktail.com
