Doctor Moss @ the Know 6/2
Holy fuck did Doctor Moss not kill it at the Know?! It was their first show but it could've been their 10th anniversary gig after years of battling out in the bloody, slippery trenches. They were tight, direct, and any jam action sounded realized and smart, not loose. Doctor Moss plays hard fucking prog, loud as fuck, thick as hell (thanks to some righteous baritone guitar), but never get too dorky or overly mathed out. The crowd loved it. I loved it. And--maybe most important--the band loved it. They truly seemed to be enjoying themselves as the baritone dueled with the second guitar (both switching off as lead), while the bass held shit down, and the drummer went off into the Fantastic Planet and made cosmic joy out of wooden sticks.
They're playing again Sat, June 17 at the Know. You should really check these guys out. Also, it took me 'til now to listen to it, but how fucking great is Paranthetical Girls' CD? Wow. That shit really steamrolled me. Zac Pennington made a damn good thing with that little pink album. Buy it post haste if you have the means.
