LIVE MUSIC!
How long has it been since you were at a live music show? To be honest as I always am, it has not been that long for me. I shared a Clutch show I attended https://hive.blog/music/@zekepickleman/concert-going-with-zeke-the-mighty-clutch so it hasn't been all that long for me.
For others, I am sure it has been small shows or none at all so I thought it would be good to share my fun adventure again. First things first!
The Tour Vlog!
I have seen these guys once before and vividly remembered My Son the Hurricane https://www.msthofficial.com/ being a whole stage full of brass, members and energy.
They do a neat job with creative video and actually have a Tour Vlog about this show being released in a couple days here
Til then, I discovered this cool video and more to give you an idea how they sound.
The Venue
You might recognize Revival House Stratford https://revival.house from one of my many restaurant reviews, bartending gigs, marketing work and even the shows we have attended together. This was early in the evening shortly after doors with the opening act on stage. Not bad for a 2-piece!
My Son the Hurricane!
It wasn't long before they completely filled the stage with the dancing horn section and all of the rest of the band. They are aptly described as "A MULTI HORN, MULTI DRUMMER, MULTI SINGER BRASS-FUNK BEAST" and that really does them justice.
As you can tell from the picture, they are hard to capture and groove as hard as they play. Mixing in their originals with funky brassy covers that even included an Anthrax song, they really are a hurricane.
A Special Guest
Mista D was of course at the show. He is friends with these guys too and even appeared on their latest album as a guest vocalist. He really is the reason they make a stop in our small town between gigs in bigger cities.
The next song was a special treat. I have seen D perform a number of times with Mob Barley, and watched every show on video with his Huey Lewis cover band The Power of Huey. His biggest profile band is The Salads https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Salads but I had never seen them live. Being a fan of The Salads, My Son The Hurricane played on of those old songs and invited Darren to jump back a decade and perform it.
Here is the video from back in the day and it was SO great to catch it live.
It was great to get back to local live music, see Revival House so packed with revelling dancers. and catch these guys again. I hope you enjoyed a little escape with me into a concert hall close to home.
What a show!

The size of the ensemble on stage reminds me of the old 2 tone ska bands from the UK with a an awesome horn section.
Live music is just brilliant and I have missed it!
My Son The Hurricane look pretty cool, and I know you had a great time!
Yah they are like a weird fusion of ska with eclectic gypsy vibe to them. So much energy and grooves to get you moving.
Not only did I have a great time and support friends, I earned wifepoints© as well because my better half wanted to go!
I have been listening to them, me likes!
hehe getting and earning wifepoints, now that is priceless 👏👏👏
A lazy man becomes efficient through the years and wisdom gained.
I love killing a couple birds with one stone so I have extra stones for other targets. ;)
Wisdom is an awesome thing, and efficiency makes the lazy man a smart lazy man!
hehe always great to have those stones saved for a rainy day!
