House Jacks
Saw the House Jacks last night at Passim. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
muffyjo, lillibet, 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 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 justthatwesguy, 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!
