I thought it may have been too loud where we were. Fun show though. I enjoyed the new stuff and loved that they closed it all out with “Caught By the Fuzz”.
SUPERGRASS at WEBSTER HALL
First off, Supergrass was really LOUD. My ears are still adjusting. Perhaps their reputation precedes them in this respect. Within our section, I spotted three people wearing earplugs. Usually, orange earplugs are a cardinal sin of fandom. In this case, I would have geeked out gladly.
As Will pointed out last night, one can tell a professional band immediately. Supergrass played a high-voltage, distortion laden show. The band’s frontman, Gaz Coombes, is a thoroughbred rocker with a voice that is one part melodic, one part growl. Also, he’s a very capable lead guitarist.
All things considered, Supergrass was great. The band played close to two hours. Webster Hall was packed and there was a great level of energy throughout their performance. What more could one ask of a band?
