Jimmy Brown & The Badly-Loved

Charlotte Irish Summer Festival

Aug. 9, 2008

The Deal: Belfast fellow Jimmy Brown (former guitarist of the Hickory-based band Airspace) performed new songs with his back up band, The Badly-Loved, at the Charlotte Irish Summer Festival.

The Good: From folk melodies to rock, with some bluesy undertones, Jimmy Brown & The Badly-Loved played an impressive set of tunes that captured the festival crowd. Highlights included the catchy folk rock number, "Under the Sun," the rock/blues-esqe, "Yo Yo Heart" and the tension filled frenzy "Muzzle the Muse," with its layers of soft shrills and psychedelic thrills on guitar.

The Bad: Not much. During the last half of the show, a slew of children started running around the stage, which was a little distracting. But, overall the concert itself wasn't flawed.

The Verdict: Put them on your list of bands to see live. Jimmy Brown & The Badly-Loved deliver a strong set of well-crafted vibes. The band is currently working on an EP, titled The Age of Distraction to be released in Sept. Check out them out at: www.myspace.com/jimmybrownmusic.
