BlowUpRadio.com serves up yet another great night of music
with their Folk You series at The Goldhawk (936 Park Ave, Hoboken).
To night we have Alana Q (Six to Eight Mathematics), Souls
Release and Drew Hawthorne.
Alana turns down the volume but does not tone down the intensity
of her songs. She treated us to a brand new song. She only
wrote it the day before and not even the band had heard it
yet.
Souls Release had decent songs and strong vocals. The drummer
joked that his kick, snare, hat and ride was his Neil Peart
set-up. I love how they just look like they're having
fun. As a tribute to Independence Day they did 'Revolution'.
We live in the greatest country on the planet," the singer
said, "but with really fucked up leaders."
Drew Hawthorne was kinda folky meets 80s new wave aesthetic.
His high voice and very percussive guitar style were wrapped
nicely in respectable tunes. He joked that wearing a 'wife-beater' made
him look like a child molester. I clapped. The reaction I got
made me feel as though that was wrong.
Drew's last song had no title. One guy in the crowd
yelled out, "How 'bout 'Child Molester'?" Again
I clapped and again it was apparently the wrong thing to do.
Oh well.
