2003-04-18: Twinemen - Live Show Reviews

Note to self: If you are going to have a band open for you, make sure they aren't a whole lot better than you.

This is a lesson Concrete Blonde should have taken from having twinemen open for them. In a Nutshell: Concrete Blonde was a 6. Twinemen was a 10.

Twinemen was formed by two former members of Morphine after Mark Sandmann died. I had heard a couple twinemen tracks and they were pretty good. Morphine-esque, but different enough to be their own band. They now have a female singer, and I was a little worried about how she was going to hold up.

The show was awesome. It was at the House of Blues, and that place has the best acoustics of any place I have ever been. Everyone sounds like a million bucks there. Their songs were pretty and dark and just plain good. The singer has a great voice, and the sax player sang a good bit and filled in a bit of the Sandmann's shoes.

The highlight of the show was seeing the sax player play a bari and a tenor sax at the same time. I had thought he multitracked to get the effect, and he may do so in the studio, but he pulls it off live by playing two damn saxaphones at the same time. And it wasn't gimmiky. It was just plain awesome. He actually played two separate parts on the things. The mind boggles.

Awesome. 10 out of 10.
