Review of Last Night's WRCN's Performance

Around 7:55pm last night I went on to WRCN.com anxiously awaiting Memphis Crawl's live performance. When 8pm finally rolled around, which seemed like forever, the disc jockey came on to introduce the band by saying they were setting up and proceeded to play some random classic blues. Once it got to 8:10 and my Memphis Crawl withdrawal was at its peak, a brief introduction was given by the one and only Matty O'Brien. After a few words, songs from their EP Falling Down Against The Sun were played.

Once "Wintertime", my personal favorite song from the ep, was over and a brief sound check, Memphis Crawl rushed right into their live performance starting off with "Wildflower Annie". Playing like it was their last chance to share their souls with the masses. Matty's vocals rang true to his usual gut busting ear blasting sound. Guitarist Bryan Stevens, and Bassist Mad Friek were at war with each other battling between epic riff to epic riff while drummer extraordinaire, Mike Vincenti wailed away repeatedly on his drum kit unaware of the repercussions to the listeners ears.

From their epic original "Whitehorse" to their flawless cover of The Beatles classic "Don't Let Me Down" it was a live performance for the books. Also mentioned on the show were upcoming performances for Oct/Nov, including their return to Brickhouse Brewery in Patchogue, plans for their east coast winter tour, as well as their hopes for recording a full length album shortly after the new year. All in all it was a night to remember!

Let us build an army, an army for Memphis Crawl
