The band I used to work with, who just as they got famous playing the bar scene in Devil's Advocate with Al Pacino & Charlize Theron, the lead singer married his long time live in girlfriend who he let make him quit & it destroyed the band because his vocals were the sound, are back together performing live for an hour below. I can't stop crying, and I found this by accident today, their music can NOT be found anywhere online, or on CD anywhere, never mind live! I'm the only one who had live footage because they are the band I traveled with & filmed, the one I gave up music for 10 years over their breakup, the one who broke my heart, so to find this is an incredible gift & a rare special treat. It is blues jazz with a New Orleans sound though they are from LI, NY. I hope this means they will be performing regularly, and coming up my way again, I'd travel to them if necessary, whatever it takes. They got me started in this industry, my old film of them is on a dead hard drive (I still need to find someone certified to restore corrupted XP drives), no other film existed until now. Bawling my eyes out with joy, sadness, disbelief, bliss, and they sound exactly the same because the lead singer is back too (he looks like shit though, guess his marriage---which broke up the band--didn't agree with him?) and Mike Nugent looks the same as ever & sounds even better. Awesome is an understatement.

On Dec. 9, 2011 Fatdog & Southern Tendencies played LIVE from 9p to 1a at Panther Mountain House in Chestertown, NY. Free cover every Friday night with live entertainment, and my favorite place to get Buffalo Chicken Tenders done perfect! Casual dress, down to earth company & friendly people who LOVE to dance & party!
I had no idea what to expect from Fatdog & Southern Tendencies, having only heard a brief 90 second sample of a bluegrass festival performance, I was somewhat expecting a more country & western sound, but instead heard some of the best southern rock & blues classics covers done with an incredible dueling set of lead guitar players I'd ever seen. The drummer wore a headset microphone, something I'd not seen used in live performances on the local level before, and the lead singer Fatdog gave passionate renderings on vocals, while the bass guitarist plucked us all into a frenzy of deep pounding notes.
Dressed like they had just stopped in for a beer, a more local & down home band would be hard to find, but their sound is far above the average for any local band expectations. There were some lighting challenges we'll need to work on for their next show in late January, mostly needing front lit sources to get the best picture of the guys especially on the left side of the stage, apparently these guys are used to being HEARD and not seen! There were no videos of their performances so I filmed the show despite being very ill with a bad cold, having stitches in my mouth from oral surgery the day before, and having only 50 minutes of total battery time before I'd run out of video halfway through the show, and not once did I regret going once I got there & heard them start playing--all my worries & pain disappeared immediately.
Below are just a sample of the 13 total videos filmed during their performance. Please see the youtube video uploads link below for all of the song videos from the show. Visit the links to the band's web site & the P-House for more info on future shows or booking the band. Already we're planning to re-do the entire show at their next gig (when I'll have extra batteries for the new camcorder) in late January, so keep your calendar clear to come & help us dance & party the night away.
Also keep your calendars clear for January 13th, when several of the members of this band play at P-House as Cosmic Jackson, a premiere rock & roll band! This will be their first performance at the Panther Mountain Inn, see their link below, and visit the P-House web site for directions & any information you may need, including lodging & meals. Cover charge is always FREE with live entertainment every Friday, and live Karaoke on Thursdays with Lindsay.
Enjoy!

Sound Tribe Sector 9: Live as Time Changes You rated this movie: 1 of 5 While I applaud the full length DVD for a change, the content was extremely lame in this case. The so-called light show is an LED board of triangles so it's not at all real graphics--more like a peg board. 2 guitar players, 2 drummers, 1 keyboard piano man, & the 2 guitar players used laptops for added content when not playing guitar. The music was more jazz electronic than rock, and every song sounded just like the last one, to the point where I skipped several songs. The only song I liked was Instantly, I played that twice before returning DVD, so I didn't like it THAT much nor did I even want to record it, never mind buy it. If this were free it would still be a waste of time. I love new music, electronic & techno, progressive, love guitar & drums, but this was just too bland, the promised psychedelic visuals were never delivered, & it would have been nice to focus cameras on the actual players while they were soloing! Fans will like it, non-fans, don't bother.
1st, there were 2 guitar players--they even played together f2f at ctr mic, so was the reviewer blind? Each even did brief solos with cameras on them. I've never seen a bass played that way tho, slapping the guitar rather than strumming. No lip sync anywhere either, guitar & lead singer sang their throats & hearts out! Looking at stage, bass was on left, lead guitar was on right, lead singer in center & drums behind him. I've liked Korn but not been an avid fan, though after this I'm definitely more into them than I ever was before. This show was an awesome physical performance, plus the mosh pit & fans filmed throughout in quick breakaways. However, no fan in planes stuff--no special features when streaming I guess. I wanted to see that! This was 120 minutes, not 130, so those 10 minutes are missing. Still a 5+ star show, loved Come Undone & Want to Laugh Again.
