Comments: A Few things I remember from Last Night

Act I: Gentlemen Outfit– This duo comprised of one man on acoustic guitar and one man on percussion- just one simple drum. The simplicity was the key to the music; there is nothing shocking or surprising about GO, and I mean that in a very good way. Their mellow music draws you in with (seemingly) very little effort. For a while I felt like it was Summer again- the music evoked a nice, relaxing, summery atmosphere. The set consisted of a mixture of originals and covers including Jason Derulo’s “In My Head.” If you are a fan of chill, easy listening music then check these guys out.

Act II: Gold Star Morning– Gold Star Morning generated a massive crowd reaction from the packed Bull McCabe’s audience, which by the way consisted mostly of females :). Not too hard to figure out why when you actually hear GSM. The group are masters at rocking out with high energy and simultaneously maintaining a cool, almost calm quality to their craft. The Bull McCabe’s bar was a TIGHT squeeze, but the band made do. They got everyone excited- dancing, jumping up and down, singing along. They unleashed various rocking numbers, but the tune that stood out to me was the slower ballad, “Bigger Than Me,” sounds like we have an FM staple before us. Their set also included popular cover songs: The Black Keys’ “Tighten Up,” Cee Lo Green’s “Fuck You,” and best of all The Strokes’ “Last Night,” it was spot on, almost scary. Every member executed the music exceptionally; the band and fans alike made note of GSM’s newest addition, KLYAM’s own James DiNanno on drums. James’ talent and undeniable force is intimidating. Overall, I enjoyed myself and I recommend y’all check out this fine Boston band.
