I'm the permanent designated driver around here.
Another fun night at G'Daddy's BBC on North Ave. Whew... The band and the dancing were offthahook. Yo yo yo!
As awful as their website is, the guys did an awesome job. The
12-year-old-looking drummer never missed a beat, the guitarist did
pretty well - taking every opportunity possible to say "how's it all
going with y'all out there?", the bassist was solid, the lead singer
rapped well but had a less than stellar sense of pitch when asked to
actually sing.The real joy in the whole night was Timothy. He never erred with the
keyboard, doing a great job replicating some really famous sounds at
high speed. You listen to a CD with all the different samples and
synthesized sounds put together over hours and hours, but he was
throwing it all together at the spur of the moment. Then turning to
play the steel drum! That made my night! I love the steel drums! Every
time I looked, he's smashing a triangle or waving the tambourine! The
guy was from East Troy!As you can see in the map, East Troy is in the middle of, well, things,
but not the center of cultural activity. But he sang and rapped quite
respectably. I liked it when the "lead" singer just shut up and
pretended to be cool. Oooh, I'm harsh.

I know where East Troy is! Yay for me! (I now know the whole Milwaukee area map like the back of my hand.
)
There must be something wrong with the water there...seriously wrong. Massive trees and stunted minds.
