The Cutbacks

THE CUTBACKS - YOU KNOW WHEN A BAND " HAS IT ". THAT CERTAIN CONFIDENCE THAT OVER POURS OFF THE STAGE AND UPON THE AVERAGE LISTENER'S EARS. A YOUNG BAND WITH ENOUGH ENERGY TO FUEL A TRUCK. A LEAD GUITARIST WITH FAST FINGERS AND A KEEN EAR FOR SOUND AND BLENDING. I WAS ENVIOUS AS HE MADE IT LOOK EASIER THAN I COULD AIR GUITAR. A FEW DRUMMERS HAVE COME THROUGH THAT HAVE REALLY IMPRESSED ME.............CIRCLE OF FEAR , LC9 , ICABOD , NOOSPHERE TO NAME OF FEW. BUT THIS DRUMMER HAD A KNOCK DOWN VERSION OF A DRUM KIT THAT MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER WOULD HAVE LIKED TO PLAY WITH , BUT MAN COULD NAIL THE SKINS. THEY ROCKED, BUT THE SHOW WAS SUPPORTED BY STRONG SONGWRITING, NOT TO MENTION A SUPER TALENTED BASSIST. THEIR SOUND HAD A DIRTY UNDERGROUND NEW YORK ROCKABILLY ALTERNATIVE HIGH SPEED PUNKY FEEL. VERY PROFESSIONAL
