Off the charts! Tuesday night I saw New York punk rock outfit Red Datsun do a show at Pianos. This was my first time seeing them. On a scale from zero to ten their stage presence is somewhere around eleven. Front man and vocalist Dave Miller is a powerhouse who keeps the show fired up every minute the band is on stage.
Red Datsun has been around for about ten years. They've played mostly in Manhattan and at many famous as well as infamous spots. They have a loyal following; the show Tuesday night brought an enthusiastic crowd. And that crowd was introduced to some of the band's newest work.
So when it comes to the part where I tell you to go out and see this band, even though the band is busy writing, I don't have a lot of recent music to show you as samples. The band has some videos on You Tube, but they were recorded several years ago. As a sample below, I'm featuring "'Freak Scene' Live @ Arlene's Grocery". This was recorded at a show in 2011, almost five years ago, but, for a band that is ten years old, that could be considered the halfway point from its inception to where they've arrived today.
So what is the band like today compared to then? ... There have been changes. The sound of the instrumentals Tuesday night was more cohesive than what we see in the videos from years' back. And Miller's performance front center, while way more polished, still retains some nice over the top. :)
