Warchild at Sellersville

Last night I went to the Sellersville Theater for the first time.  It's a beautiful little theater.  It's stage is far too small for theatrical productions but is sufficiently large enough for most live music shows.  The house PA provides a nice clear, clean sound that is room filling without making your ears bleed.  Kudos to the house sound crew.  The concession stand has alcoholic and soft beverages and a limited snack menu.  The front rows are loose chairs at tables but you may enjoy your refreshments in any seat in the house.  The rest is standard theater ticketed seating.  Go hear a show there.  You will enjoy yourself.

And enjoy myself I did.  I went to hear Warchild.  Billed as "A Faithful Jethro Tull Recreation," they put on a great show.  Even though I'm a fan of Progressive Rock and even though Tull was a band that got a lot of radio play back in the day, I must admit that I am not fully versed with the entire Tull oeuvre.  But I have seen Tull live.  Also, being a musician who has heard certain songs enough times to know how they should sound and who has seriously played and recorded a small number of Tull classics, I can honestly say that Warchild does not disappoint.

Fronted by Paul Caruso in the Ian Anderson persona, Warchild puts forth a nice recreation of a live Tull show.  Caruso has cultivated his hair, beard, flute playing, and voice to fill the role convincingly.  Not just with singing, he even talks and acts like Anderson in between numbers.  Without a good Anderson, a Tull tribute band wouldn't stand a chance.  With Caruso, Warchild is off to a good start.

Bobb Freund on bass holds down the bottom of the band quite well.  Being a bass player myself, I was most impressed with his ability to play on Minstrel in the Gallery and Bouree.  Joe Torre on drums does a great job holding things together.  His solo toward the end of the second set is one of those things that I don't have the required exposure to live Tull shows to know if he's playing a stick-for-stick recreation, but it's easy to see that he's a good drummer in his own right.  On guitar, Erick Milcetic has mastered the sound of Martin Barre.  While not always playing a perfect note-for-note rendition, you must remember that this is a recreation of live shows, not the recordings.  Erick hits the essential parts that the ear wants to hear and has the various tones nailed.  Finally, Mike Grin ..boards was softest in the mix.  A shame.  Perhaps if I had left my seat and walked around the room the mix would have been different but I was able to hear organ, piano, sound effects, and orchestral parts.  Oh, did I mention Mike's daughter dancing ballet?  And Renee on glockenspiel?  Add a violinist and cellist to the mix and there were a lot of people on stage by the end of the show.  Lots of fun and a great sound.

COMING SOON:


RED: http://redacoustic.com
=======================================================================
The acoustic power duo RED consists of Karl Eisenhart (guitar and
vocals from Pinnacle) and Chris Michels (violin, mandolin, and vocals).

Since they play at Bear Creek every friday and STILL can't get enough
of it, they decided it would be good fun to play there New Years Eve.
Apparently, the kind folks at Bear Creek thought that, too, because
it's happening from 8:30 pm to 12:30 am. Last NYE at Bear Creek was a
really great evening even though RED weren't there. So that means that
this year could be UP TO FIVE TIMES AS GOOD.

RED will also be back at the Krumsville Inn on January 3rd from 10:00
pm to 1:00 am, and, of course, at Bear Creek every Friday until the end
of time.

WARCHILD
=======================================================================
On December 28 at 7:30 pm, Warchild, a Jethro Tull Tribute band, will
play at the Sellersville theater. http://www.st94.com

Serving to satisfy your Tull cravings, New York's Warchild captures
the excitement of The Whistler's live performances in an exciting,
theatrical presentation with costumes, lights and faithful renditions
of their music; expect to hear many classics including selections from
Aqualung, A Passion Play & Living in the Past. Ian Anderson's
compositions rank amongst the greatest songs of the past 40 years by
combining blues, folk, jazz, Celtic & classical influences into
innovative progressive rock.


ELECTRO-MUSIC: http://electro-music.com

On NYE, listen here: http://electro-music.com/radio

Announcement at http://electro-music.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22830 says:

We did it in 2006 and 2008 (I think we missed 2007) so why not do it
again? Lets have an online electro-music.com international New Year's
Eve party and electro-jam. Almost all cultures celebrate the January 1st
New Year so this is sure not to offend too many people.

A floating concert is like a floating crap game, it moves around from
location to location.

We will set up our shoutcast server to run all day Dec 31 through Jan 1.
We'd like people in their studios to set up live streaming of
performances, jam sessions, or any kind of musical expression for
streaming. The electro-music.com members and lurkers can tune in and
share the experience. Bill's band Xeroid Entity will be streaming live
from Allentown.

Afterglow Playlist for December 4, 2008

http://soundscapes.us/afterglow/playlists/2008/081204.html

Afterglow is where I present an eclectic mix of genres with an emphasis
on Progressive Rock.

If you or your band have a version of the Genesis song, Afterglow, send
it to me and I will consider using it to start the program. If I use
it, the band gets a link on the Afterglow web site!

Become a friend of Afterglow on MySpace.

I also host The AM/FM Show every other Saturday morning and will be
there on Saturday, December 13.

Listen to WMUH on-line now.

programs. Anyone interested in seeing playlists can join. There is NO
