Wow, wow, wow - That's all I have to say.
Virgil, Mitch, Rufus and Tony definitely wowed the crowd last night at the Baked Potato - no doubt about it.
We already knew how amazing this trio was in the last months, especially in the recent Australian tour, but the addition of an amazing guitarist such as Tony MacAlpine, some of the very subtle nuances in the music came to life. I heard the same comments all over: "The guitars are perfect, there's no overplaying, no senseless shredding...it's just damn good!". It's exactly how I wanted to hear this band play.
Now take that formula and blend in the explosiveness of Virgil's playing. He was on fire. Every note expressed so much heart! Back him up with the amazing Rufus Philpot (the Taste Police) and the incredible Mitch Forman, who showcased more of a wider repertoire of sounds this time around - it might of been his Apple laptop that he was carrying around :)
Anyway, I met some cool people at the show. It was packed for the whole 2 sets! Here are some pics from last night!
Enjoy!
(Oh, video is coming too, Im editing a couple of them for you all)
Looking forward to see some of you at NAMM. Make sure NOT to miss these guys at the Pearl booth!
