I ventured out on a Tuesday night. I try to avoid going out on a "school" night, however this was something I just couldn't pass up. It was a reunion show for Royal Fingerbowl, as well as a birthday celebration for Matt Perrine, sousaphone/bass player legend. The show took place at One Eyed Jacks, a venue I have been to a few times and have loved every time. Last night was no exception. The guys actually started at 10, something that is virtually unheard of. I was sitting up on the small balcony with Matt's mom and Elyse and at first we didn't think that many people were going to show up. When the band started there weren't that many people there. Within minutes however the room was packed. For a band that hasn't played in a long time, they sounded so amazing. I can't convey the sound that they produced last night. It was killin. Alex McMurray is a terrific songwriter and amazingly wonderful guitar player and he just threw down last night. They played a lot of the Royal Fingerbowl catalog as well as a few other tunes. I do have to say I was most surprised when they played "Like a Virgin" Seriously haven't lived until you have heard Royal Fingerbowl's version. There was cake and champagne for the birthday boy during the break which lasted only 15 minutes. Again something unheard of. A short set break? shocking. I don't know if they will get together again, even if they don't you should check out some of their music!
