The Rock

As I had predicted, Butch Walker just rawked the 9:30 Club. It's late, and I'm rapidly losing it, but he and his band, the Let's-Go-Out-Tonites put on a hell of a show. BW is one charismatic performer, jumping off risers and the bass drum, and making forays into the audience. And the openers, As Fast As and Boys Like Girls, weren't too bad, either. I especially liked the groovy rock with a glam edge of As Fast As. Their live show grabbed my attention and never let go of it. All of the band members had character, rocking and strutting around like mad on stage. And frankly, I've never seen a bass handled like that before - I'll just leave it at that.
