Grace Potter and the Nocturnals gets the A-Bomb. When Rolling Stone says "Best New Band of 2010", I have to take a look. I had already seen a performance by the Nocturnals on Conan O'Brian, with Grace flaunting the Gibson V guitar, or was it an Epiphone. Grace's whole thing is epiphony, weak. In any case thats what I thought after I saw the band on Conan. Then I saw the Rolling Stone hype. Hi Ho Hype.It is time for the A-Bomb.
The Noctuarnals started up before Grace emerged onto the "ARTISTS DEN" stage outdoors in New York. Grace waddled out with her thighs flabbing exposed by a tunic or toga, white against her white pale skin, attempting to conjure up Caligula, or what. Her fragile cracking voice hyped into huge fake enthusiasm.Best new band Grace even talks off key, laying around on a divan, once again not erotic.
There are all of the Nocturnals emitting a taking it easy suddenly change and they all burst into a discordinant harmony while portraying transported with bliss from time to time. Matthew B.the drummer, laid back scrabbled at his drums like a small dog trying to get out.
I looked back up from my writing to find the Nocturnals were suddenly in full blown irrelevant Rockabilly extravagance. There was a horrible ending but live crowds like this sort of stuff. Ugh! I thought this was a rock band I am being Country and Westerned. God do I hate that crap.
Horrible, horrible harmonica. All off key. This is a bomb, which would signify a poor performance. Now we have church music oh my God! again. Grace, if you are going to ooo ooo be on key. I have to remind the reader or listener that Rolling Stone said "Best". That is the reason for this review.
Grace does the "chunky white chick dance". I generally recall James Brown and his acrobatics at a moment like this and I particularly recall his really tasteful black chick dancer. Check out a James Brown site. Grace thigh flaps and short tunic flying over to the organ again for the fifty repetitions I have always abhored.
For those of you who are sensitive perhaps this has been enough. I shall continue: Now they are going psychedellic. Oh oh! More off key ooo ooo ooo ooo. I hope that I don't sound like this to other musicians. I am having contact shame. You never know you may not be as good as you think you are including you and me. Sometimes I doubt this whole music performance thing. My faith is shaken.
I first noticed this band on Conan O'Brian. The V guitar and the unfulfilled expectation. The Nocturnals think that they are "wild" but they are slightly off and they Ashley McIssac.
I can see that Grace Potter and the Nocturnals are having a Doors moment. It is hard to keep up, and the Doors moment is over in a moment except for Grace and the Nocturnals. I ask myself what the funk is this?No funk, no punk, no chunk. Nice floating guitar lead by Scott Turner on the gold Telecaster. It is a white lead. I am white, white crossed with white but this band is to white for me. The drummer grimly pouts to another slightly off key country tune, is that jazzy?
I just noticed Benjamin Yerker the second guitar. The first guitar Scott Turner now drums as well and Grace flaps over to the organ again. Pan to audience: old white guy knows the words. Wow. Bass player Katherine Popper plays a white bass. White. Don't dance to this bass line.
Here is the V guitar, Grace actually daringly inserts the guitar between her exposed thighs. Do you strum a V guitar? This band, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals pose for photo ops. Posing as a rock band, they imitate the facial expressions, postures and enthusiasm which is possessed by a rock band, but the sound.
I have got to get to work on my latest Stephen Harper satire. Steven is Canada's singing Prime Minister. Ta!
