House Jacks

Saw the House Jacks last night at Passim. [livejournal.com profile] muffyjo, [livejournal.com profile] lillibet, [livejournal.com profile] jason237 and I shared a table that was so close to the stage that my knees were bumping against it. Which turned out to be handy, cause [livejournal.com profile] thatwesguy came over and sang part of a song to us. I felt so cool :)

I've never heard the House Jacks before. DAMN, they're good. And they're different. Many really fabulous original tunes, a few really amusing covers, and I couldn't keep from snapping and clapping and dancing in my seat. They've got great stage presence, with lots of entertaining (all the more so for their jet-lag) banter. And I must say, that is one mighty fine-looking bunch of men.

Their first encore was just [livejournal.com profile] thatwesguy, and he held the audience silent and enthralled with his vocal percussion for -- well, I don't know how long, I was too hypnotized to look at a clock, but it was a decent length of time, and I think we all would have been happy to keep listening. He's not only technically amazing, but he's a great musician, and it was wonderful to listen to.

All in all, an amazing evening, and I hope they play Boston again soon!

I am given to understand that you are not the leaving kind.

You mean even if she could have escaped? Boy do they pack the house! And what a good time to be had by all. Thank you for the date, Gilly!
