Happy New Year! It was a good way to start out the new year with a good band! I've heard of Liquid 7 before but never saw them until now. It was a fairly good night at Duke's .... not like the "old days" but still a good turn-out. At least Duke's is still there!
Liquid 7 consists of drums, bass, guitar and a vocalist. The drummer was OK and held the beat as was the bassist. The guitar player was good and holding his own. The singer was very good but slowly started getting sloppier as the night went on. That's OK. The drunker the crowd is, the better we sound. However, there can be times when the drunker the musician is, the better he or she thinks he or she sounds .. which can get dangerous. There might as well have not been any mics set up for the bassist and guitarist as even when they did occasionally have something to add, you couldn't hear it. One can never be sure if we really wanted to hear it but we won't know from this performance. They had a good mix from the house sound.
Anyway, this was a good band and it was refreshing to hear a good, well-rehearsed band. They were aggressive and pretty full-sounding for basically, a three-piece with a singer. Of course, they do most of the same classic rock songs everyone else does with an occasional surprise. They did a few new songs that went over well but then again, this crowd was into it. It got to the point later in the night where the band could have farted into the mics and the crowd would have loved it! Hey, nothing wrong with that! It's an accomplishment getting a crowd that whipped into a frenzy. They were not a spectacular band, but they worked within their abilities and as a result, they sounded great!
They'll be back, I'm sure. They were certainly worth the admission price! http://www.myspace.com/liquid7band
