Devils-only-soul-sale chops. Their bass player, Steve Kalorin, whose curly hair poured from his cap, in particular deserves special recognition for his fast fingers and sexy flange.
Woodfish worked the crowd, playing the beach party atmosphere with exhortations to “get up” and “feel it”. Vocalist Jimmy Counihan led the tunes in a rich baritone, two hands on the mic, his eyes squeezed tight in his head. “Save my soul” he pleaded repeatedly, hammering those notes home like a reincarnated Brad Nowell. So convincing was his delivery, and so skilled his bandmates performance, one was left considering the details as to the legal ownership if this young man’s soul. Scary stuff. I bought a T-shirt.
The addtional supporting fold included Doug Mikula (guitar), Don Honeycut (sax), and Dom Kalorin (drums).
