It's a feedback loop that you have to establish. The band puts out energy to the crowd. The crowd responds and sends more energy back to the band. The band feeds off this and puts more energy out to the crowd. Yep. It's a feedback loop. Hans and the Hormones did a great job of that last night at Duke's. This is a very good band. Yes, individually they are very good players but it's not that aspect that makes this band a blast to see. It's the fact that they look like they're having a great time being up there that makes this band so good .... except maybe for Glen the bassist who always looks grumpy. Maybe it's because he can't forget his old Blackwater Gold days. Great great drummer. Hans is a very good singer/front guy. I remember Victor (on guitar) as being in the Poppin' Mollies years ago. He always looks like he's having a great time. He's good and solid although his sound is a little too processed for me but the crowd doesn't care. The other and perhaps most important key to this band is their song selection. This alone can break or make a band. Yes, they play some of the same songs every band in existence had better play (Jack and Diane, Sweet Caroline, etc.) . However, they play many many songs you just don't hear all that often that are simply great dancing songs. I applaud them for NOT doing the same song lists you hear out of the other bands. Great local band. Make it a point to see them! http://www.hansandthehormones.com/
