TRIP TO DOO WOP
On Friday Night David, Pat, and I went to see Orbit to Leslie at Johnny Brenda's. It had been a while since I had seen the band live, not since their show at Danger Danger Gallery several months ago.
The band never ceases to amaze me by the new roads they continually take, roads in all directions. The show at Danger Danger Gallery highlighted the introduction of some new instruments including a trombone. Friday night at Johnny Brenda's showed the fullness of the new instrumentation being incorporated into the show as a major component.
It also showed Orbit to Leslie, while not abandoning their masterpiece cd, "The World Was Saved With Chocolate Cake", moving into new areas, one of them being doo wop. I was surprised to see a couple doo wop songs included in the show. … Falsetto was done quite well.
Current song playing right here on my blog page is "Stop Drop & Roll", an example of their doo wop adventure and released just a couple weeks ago.
================================
7/5/20 ::: OOPS. Looks like the band removed this song from their page.

Another change that I did see was in the drum section. In previous shows I saw, along with quite an assortment of drums, the seat of a folding chair as part of the percussion mix. But Friday night the percussion section seemed to consist only of "real" drums. :)
