| LIVE REVIEW |
IT’S A WEEKNIGHT AND ALMOST EVERYONE IS ON THE WAY HOME OR SITTING DOWN FOR A “QUIET DINNER.”
THANKFULLY, NOT ALL OF US ARE LIKE THAT. WE WAIT IN LINE OUTSIDE A VENUE, TO SEE SOME BANDS THAT
HAVE BEEN OUR FAVORITES FOR YEARS. TONIGHT IS NO DIFFERENCE. IT’S THE FIRST DAY IN SEVERAL WEEKS
THAT THE SUN IS OUT WHILE HINTING AT A SURPRISE TO COME THIS VERY EVENING. YOU REACH THE DOOR TO
THE VENUE AND LOOK ABOVE YOU AT THE BANNER THAT LISTS UPCOMING SHOWS, WHILE WAITING TO GET
INSIDE, SCOPE OUT THE MERCH TABLE, GRAB A BEER AND PATIENTLY (OR NOT SO PATIENTLY) WAIT FOR THE
BAND OF THE EVENING TO COME ON STAGE. TONIGHT, IT’S TANTRIC. AND MAN IS IT EVER TANTRIC SEASON.
FANS GALORE MILL ABOUT THE TABLES AND STAGE, EAGER FOR THE SHOW TO BEGIN WHILE KEEPING THEIR
EYES OPEN FOR ANY SIGN OF TANTRIC BAND MATES.
THE SHOW KICKS OFF WITH NON OTHER THAN FRAMING HANLEY AND FOSTERCHILD, WHO IN THEIR OWN
RIGHTS, JUST GAINED ANOTHER LARGE GROUP OF FANS JUST BY TOURING WITH THE BOYS IN TANTRIC. BOTH
BANDS PUT ON A HELL OF AN AMAZING SHOW AND THE MOMENT FINALLY ARRIVES, THE SET IS FINISHED BEING
PUT UP, THE LIGHTS DIM, AND THE MUSIC STARTS. JOE, ERIK, KEVIN, MARCUS AND HUGO ALL MAKE THEIR
ENTRANCE ON THE STAGE AND IMMEDIATELY HAVE PEOPLE START SCREAMING. ONE SONG AFTER ANOTHER,
THE BEAT IS UNBELIEVABLE AND THE CROWD IS EVER LOVING THE MOMENT. MIXING BOTH OLDER TANTRIC
SONGS WITH THE NEWER ONES, THEIR ISN’T A SOUL IN THE BUILDING, THAT DIDN’T HAVE THEIR FAVORITE
SONGS PLAYED. NOT ONLY IS THE HIGH ENERGY OF THE BAND ADDICTING, IT’S ALSO ONE OF A KIND. THEY
SHOW YOU EXACTLY WHAT YOU CAME TO SEE BUT ALSO LIVE THE LASTING IMPRESSION THAT THEY ARE A
BAND TO CONTEND WITH AND WILL CONTINUE TO DEVOUR YOU. ALONG THE WAY, THE SHOW ALSO HAS A FEW
SURPRISES IN IT. NIXON FROM FRAMING HANLEY IS BROUGHT ON BOARD TO SING “MOURNING” WITH HUGO. THE
LOW BARITONE VOICE OF HUGO ALONG WITH NIXON’S VARIETY OF MEDIUMS, ALLOWS FOR THE PERFECT
MELODY TO BE PLAYED. ONLY A FEW SONGS LATER, DANNY AND BRIAN OF FOSTERCHILD COME ON BOARD
AND HELP PLAY “THE ONE” BY FILLING IN THE VOCALS OF CANDLEBOX’S KEVIN MARTIN. NOT ONLY DOES THE 3
BANDS COME TOGETHER AND PUT ON ONE BAD ASS SHOW, THEY DO IT IN THE ONLY KNOWN STYLE: ROCK.
WHAT’S A BETTER WAY TO BLOW OUT THE EVENING AND PORTRAY THAT STYLE? BY PLAYING “DOWN AND
OUT,” THAT’S HOW. HUGO'S VERY WORDS “HEY MARCUS, LET’S PLAY THAT SONG THAT MAKES PEOPLE MOVE
THEIR HEADS LIKE THIS…” START AN UPROAR OF AGREEMENT FROM THE CROWD HASN’T BEEN SEEN IN THIS
VENUE IN A LONG TIME. EVERY SINGLE PERSON WITHIN A MILE RADIUS CAN HEAR “DOWN AND OUT” BEING
PLAYED WITH AS MUCH ENTHUSIASM AND PLEASURE FROM BOTH BAND AND FAN ALIKE.
TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, THERE’S NOTHING AND I MEAN NOTHING, BETTER TO DO ON A WEEKNIGHT. FORGET
PRACTICE, WORK, STUDYING, SCHOOL, EATING AND ALL THE OTHER EXCUSES YOU CAN COME UP WITH, GET
YOUR ASS DOWN TO THE LOCAL VENUE WHEN YOU HEAR TANTRIC AND THEIR LABEL MATES ARE COMING TO
TOWN. YOU’LL GET 100% MORE ENJOYMENT BY GOING THEN REALIZING HOW MUCH YOU JUST MISSED OUT ON
THE NEXT DAY BY NOT GOING. TANTRIC HAD THE TALENT IN THE PAST, NOW IT’S JUST REAFFIRMED THEY STILL
GOT IT AND MORE.
