A violin in a rock band. Wow! That's part of the lineup of Boston band, "Nemes".
So here's one of those bands that sounds different in real life as compared to what they've got on the web. The music on Bandcamp sounds good, but no audio can possibly record anything near the high-energy raucous show that the band did at Pianos a few weeks ago, including, what the band calls "fiddle action glory".
The composition and structure of Nemes' music is different from that of the last two outfits I wrote about here. While the last two showed a tighter style in their composition, Nemes shows a far more free-form style of writing. In fact, the personality of a song can change multiple times in one track. Here is "Blues", which is the seventh and final track of their 2016 album, "Live in Studio - Q Divison"
Listen as the violin comes in and starts to become prominent near the 2.13 marker. And listen for major surprise structural changes at (approximately) 3.33, 4.35, and 7.57.
Nemes doesn't have other shows coming up in the NY or Philly areas, but here is the click to their Facebook page, where you can keep tabs on what they're doing. Nemes on Facebook (CLICK HERE)
