Our latest review...
I just
returned home from seeing Solitary Glens band XMITTRS play and
all I
can say is WOW!!!! Don't let this guys' modesty fool you. Hell I
almost
didn't go after he said they weren't prog they were rock etc.
However I
decided to go check them out, you know support the forum etc. And
I can't
tell you what a pleasant surprise it was.
Now I'm not going to go into the great detail that Mashtun did
when he
described Aredores kit but he had a Pearl kit (basically had a
mini Peart
kit. 24" bass with a double kick etc.)
I'll let Glen describe his kit. I'm also not going to describe or
label his
bands music..because I can't. It was basically a blues,funk,rock
sound with
portnoyesque (prog) time signatures. This band has a very unique
sound. Glen
is an excellent drummer, now I know I haven't heard everyone in
the forum
drum off but I think this guy can hold his own.
I met Glen for the first time before the show, and he told me
they hadn't
practiced in weeks (after hearing them I think he BS'ing me.)
They started
to set-up. And I knew I was in the right place when I almost
spewed my 2nd
Tuacca Lemon drop on the bartender when I heard Glen playing 6:00
during the
soundcheck. Little did I know this one of many Portnoy sounding
fills to
come.
The band finally started and all I can say is I was VERY
impressed. I had
gone to his bands website and gave them a listen but it wasn't
the same.
They were all original with the exception of one cover: For Your
Love which
they completely perveted, with some serious double bass leading
the way.
They also played a song which reminded me of an excellent
adventure I heard
somewhere on LTE1.
They followed the first set with more of the same in the second
set, which
featured a close to two minute KICK-ASS drum solo during the 3rd
song. I
highly recommend that anyone in the Dallas area check them out
next time
they play.
