| Lotus Land |
So, you wanna see some good bands, eh?
Last Friday night was like any other typical Friday night for me. Dirty Deeds was playing, and to me, they are the epitome of excellence when it comes to tribute bands. Often I get teased by some of my other friends who think I clearly have forgotten that there are other bands out there besides them. I won't mention any names....
Usually, when I go see Dirty Deeds, I do not make it there for the opening band's performance. To me, it isn't really a big deal since I am not going to see that band anyway. This particular Friday night was a little bit different. I actually wanted to see this band. I mean, who wouldn't? Just about everyone I know LOVES the music of Rush, but can these guys PLAY it. That was what I wondered. The band who was on before Deeds was Lotus Land, and I couldn't have been more impressed than I was the first time I saw Bob Conti pass out shots at the bar during "Have a Drink on Me."
The energy was unsurpassed as what looked like the real Geddy Lee was belting out vocals. It wasn't Geddy Lee, however, it was Chris Nelson (dubbed AKA Naski on their website: www.lotuslandband.com) The music was perfectly in sync, and if I didn't only travel a half mile away to see them alongside my all time favorite tribute band, I could have almost sworn I was at a Rush show.
To sum this up, they were amazing, and to pair them up with Dirty Deeds was clearly an act of sheer brilliance. Way to go JR's!!!
Be sure to check them out with another great band, ALIVE Kiss Tribute (New England) at the Palace Theater; Waterbury, CT. on May 15th, yet another great "Don't wanna miss" Pair!!
