Doublewide - Duke O'Brien's 10.12.07

Here is a good band. They actually brought a crowd into Duke's and you know of my uneasiness with the future of Duke O'Brien's. Incidentally, I saw Mark in Duke's last night and I have not seen him in there for quite some time on a week end night. Maybe he read my blog.

Anyway, Doublewide was very good. This is very rowdy rock and roll but it's well-done. Great drummer! Good guitars and bass and it's a delight to hear a singer who can sing in tune and not sound strained all night. This band consists of two guitars, a lead singer, drummer and bass.

They had a great song selection and the songs were aggressive and well-rehearsed. This is the first I've heard of this band and I'd go see them again. Their show was as good and maybe a little better than most other acts. I think they could pick it up a notch in the "show" department.

Check out Doublewide ... more than worth the cover charge.
