The Hamsters
My dad took me to see these guys last night:
As well as their own stuff, they play a selection of Jimi Hendrix and ZZ Top covers, and they absolutely rock. Dad goes to see Larry Miller (the guitarist and singer) in his solo shows three or four times a year, and the man is a solid dude. He's freakishly tall, and he'll stand in the crowd during the interval, drinking beer and chatting to fans.
The whole gig was pretty damned awesome, but it's the finale that rocks the show. Guitarist and Bassist don wireless instruments and enter the crowd from opposite sides of the stage, making their way through the throng, lit up by LED's (green on guitar, blue on bass). They come back to the stage, and I see the green lights heading back our way... but what's this? The Bassist is playing the guitar? And lo! Blue lights announce the arrival of Larry, strumming away on bass. There was no interruption whatsoever. No falter at all. The dudes get back on the stage, and they carry on playing for a couple of minutes. Then a huge drumroll and cymbal crash, and there's a four second drumless space as the Drummer gets up and takes the bass from Larry, and the Dude himself gets his ass behind the kit and picks up the beat.
AWESOME.
If you're ever in the south of England, do try and check these guys out.
