Well, here’s the band I paid the $100 to see, and man did they kick some serious ass, I’m not talking walking on stage and giving a good show, these guys rocked out from the first riff. I’d not seen them before but have worn some big ass grooves in their CD ‘Begins Here’, so with storm clouds brewing and Gerling finished up on the far stage, the boys from TBE cranked up their intro music and the crowd responded in kind, they entered stage left and ripped into the set, the music mix was spot on and Clint dictates his voice from strong and angry through to powerfully emotional, certainly sucking me in, he’s supported by strong concise riffs from Glen and Kurt with Ben thrashing it out on the pig skin up the back, the crowd fed off the incredible force of this band and the energy was only intensified by the kind support that only shows through fans knowing every word to every word song, the guys must have been getting off on this for sure, even those who’d wondered in and hung up the back to check them out seemed to be finding it hard to stand still, there was certainly few left chill’n out on the grass. Well to wrap up, I can’t imagine these guys confined in an indoor venue, there’s no way 4 walls could contain them. Do your self a favour and grab a copy of ‘Begins Here’ whack it in your sound system, move everything away from the edges and crank it, it’s the only way to listen to these guys if you can’t get out to see them live.
