The Deal: Some New Familiars get together with a Volatile Baby, a former Near Misses and friends to put on a show of cover songs.
The Good: It was all good for those in attendance. The group of musicians — Justin Fedor, Eric-Scott Guthrie, Josh Daniels, Daniel Flynn, Pat Maholland, Reeve Coobs, Allison Modaferri, Jason Atkins and Grey Brewster — put on one helluva show from 11:30 until the wee hours of the night as they rambled and rumbled through a bunch of cover songs.
While some of it was done in the style of the New Familiars, the addition of female singers and electric guitars definitely kicked the sound in a different direction from what you'd ordinarily see. After all, this wasn't a New Familiars gig, but a showcase of local talent and the combined forces of numerous locals. Coobs showcased her vocals on "My Girl" while Modaferri joined her for a rousing rendition of "Go Your Own Way" to close the night.
The Bad: That more of these "supergroups" don't play gigs like this more often around town.
The Verdict: It's not the same people playing the same covers all the time — it was a unique evening of talented musicians and songwriters getting together for fun and a good time for all. Let's face it — you should have been there.
