What a great show these guys put on, and man did they draw a crowd. The crowd for this band was probably equal to the RCR + the BBVD shows from a while back. However, there was amazingly more room to dance in this time around. We had a great little open spot in the middle of a sea of dedicated fans which consists of Swingers, Rock-a-Billies, Greasers and the like.

Unfortunately, this orchestra obviously relies heavily on amplification. They really like to turn everything up loud. For what ever reason though, the speakers died once and the 16 piece orchestra could barely be heard. Not very good considering the size of this band. However, as muted as they sounded, you could still tell they had a clean sound. So, even though they need some juice to make themselves nice and loud, I gave this fun filled orchestra an strong B.
