Post-Gig: After Dark @ Henry's Cellar Bar

After Dark were awesome! More laid back style that I've heard them before, mainly coz Paul was trying out his lovely new conga drums. A bit of slidey jazz guitar and twinkling piano riffs from Felipe and David too.

They got us all dancing to "Mojo", of course. And squeezed in a bit of Credence at the end ;)

Missed little Egypt! I heard the gig started at 11pm, but when we arrived shortly after that, three bands had already played. Did discover their cunningly misspelled Myspace tho, so give it a listen! I agree with one poster who writes "drums a bit more overdrive would help this lovely fresh unpretentious pop".

The warm up for After Dark was awesome tho, a real surprising discovery!  The Dark Jokes, already started when we arrived, at first sounded like country, with a good bit of fiddle. The rock vibe got harder thru the next few tracks, sounding like Pearl Jam for a bit, and then banging out hard a la Rage n having a go at the Polis. But the angry peak chilled at the end with a nice long reggae number called "Virtual Romance" about two fated MSN lovers.

Lookin forward to seein these guys again soon!
