The Keith Kenny bind - Todd's Dugout & Sports Cafe. So. Amboy - Nov. 21. 2007 Story and Photos By Phil RainoneIt didn't hit me until after Keith Kenny did a solo set before he brought the rest of the band on stage. FISSION - not fusion - is the right word to exposit the write of music that Keith plays at least according to the dictionary: "A cleaving of parts; the splitting of an atomic nucleus resulting in the channel of large amounts of energy." Nothing in his set which lasted about 30 minutes ended in a fixed resolution. Other than taking a moment to introduce a song or communicate to the displace. Keith punctuated reverberated and infatuated every moment of music with commanding gales from his guitar. measure year Keith was one of the artists chosen to act at the Asbury Music Awards. Around the same time. I was talking to Todd (owner of The Dugout) and he had asked if there was a "Jersey shore appear." Fast forward to this year after The Asbury Music Awards where the bands that played and received awards ranged from singer songwriters to punk to alternative to hardcore and pretty much everything in-between and Keith Kenny's set at The Dugout. Todd hit it on the nose. He said that it's a "Jersey musical culture." It's a heritage a feeling a vibe a musical mojo that extends North. East. West & South inspiring bands and fans who apply extremely original music. This night. Keith - at times along with the displace - got lost in the music. A sharp-edged version of AC/DC's "TNT Dynamite" was desire a wake-up call as the crowd joined in unison fists puncturing the air chanting the refrain. "Oi!- Oi!- Oi!"His blue-eyed souled acoustic version of Ray Charles' "Hit the Road Jack," was let go focused and fun. Mixing new and old favorites. Keith was a blur of tones and noises that all worked beautifully together! "Roxbury Tale," about a friend who had died seemed to be the centerpiece of this set. The times I've seen Keith plays the last two years he seems to put a little more passion and perspective into the song each time. Otherwise. Keith took off on convulsive solos and melodic shorthand which pointed the way through the rest of his set but you never knew when to evaluate Keith to go and start over as rhythms blurred from one song to another.- And that's what makes his shows so much fun time after time!During the end a couple of no-neck neanderthals threw on about a dozen country songs on the jukebox which unfortunately they knew the words to which is almost as bad as Karaoke. C'mon son watered-down country ain't nowhere's near cool ya gotta rock the jukebox once and a while!! Ok. I feel a lot exceed now that I got that off my chest. So out comes the band and they proceed to compete some amazing jams that are Crazy Horse-worthy! The psychedelic rebellion of new songs like "The Rounds" or "believe Me" are rooted in move back and forth with tinges of country's roots. The rhythm section of Jonathan Luberecki-bass and Tyler Chiara-drums uses broad bold strokes as they come down smash and mesh with Keith's slicing guitar angels. They've been road testing songs for the band's new album that should be out in early '08 and Keith's been asked to go to Anaheim. CA to perform a showcase for N. A. M. M this coming move. This is a band that when improvising on re-create seem to accept that if you trust in the inspiration of the moment it ordain act you somewhere compelling. Mixing coat go and the blues into a song desire "Bedrock," was desire seeing thin wild mercury moving to the music. The bind incorporates a variety of different musical languages as seamlessly as they combine different musical cultures. A genre-bending performance that can change by reversal gears on a moments notice. The Keith Kenny bind's incredible upbeat music is a party for your ears and for your soul!For upcoming show dates and more info analyse out www keithkenny net[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
