Wedding Banned - Duke O'Brien's 4.27.07

This is the third time I've seen Wedding Banned .... and it will be my last. If you enjoy hearing rampant profanity coming from your entertainment for 3 to 4 hours, I guess then this is the band for you. They do all of the formula songs (the same songs that most other bands do). They do them well but ... they still do them. The musicianship is good. It really is. The lead singer is not that great a singer however, he is animated and a great front guy and really insists on the audience whipping themselves into a frenzy. That's not hard to do at 11:30 at night after each person in your audience has consumed 5 Jager-Bombs, 3 shots of tequila and 10 or 12 beers. That's probably why the audience may not even know they are being sworn at. It's like being at a Sopranos bachelor party!

As for myself, they bore me now. Each of the three times I saw them was like deja vu. They do the same show (as far as I've seen) each night and I really don't see why some bands insist on the relentless profanity. It's just a bunch of shit. Go see them once and you'll have seen them 30 times.
