SWING/MAYHEM | THE GAS HOUSE GORILLAS
BLUEGRASS | TRAMPLED BY TURTLES
So, five gorillas walk into a bar... But seriously folks, five tattooed Tarzans from the jungles of Brooklyn stroll into a joint in Anytown, U.S., and promptly take the stage. They look like a cross-section between The Bowery Boys and escapees from The Reformatory for Wayward Boys circa 1959. It’s still not clear if these cats are the band, or if they beat up the band and took their instruments. If it weren’t for their impressive musicianship, the jury would still be out. GHG is punk chaos with vintage R&B charm. Ladies and gentlemen, hold onto your heads. This is, as the members put it, “God’s favorite band.” I dare you to keep still at this one, sluggo.
Featuring what I would call one of the coolest band names of all time, Trampled by Turtles also plays some of the best bluegrass to be offered. With a guitar, fiddle, banjo, mandolin and bass all present — and the handlers each being more than adept at them — the group often goes on serious instrumental tangents. Said tangents can be heard in jams like “Risk” and my personal favorite “New Son/ Burnt Iron.” These speedy pieces are countered with slower, make-you-think songs like “Midnight on the Interstate.” There are no electric guitars and synthesizers and it’s a blessing, as TBT generates natural, organic music. If this music can’t make you stomp and clap, then none can.
