THATS FOUR HANDS SHREDDING ON A SINGLE NECK AXE, MAN
Los Lonely Boys had quite an act to follow Thursday night after the romping rambunctious septet from Argentina Onda Vaga. But, with the back-in-black cock rock confidence the power trio exudes, shredding from start to finish, asking “Ya’ll ready for some Texican Rock n’ Roll!” clad in superstar sunglasses and strutting in unison to the crowds rising bemuse, Los Lonely Boys were anything but lonely as they made a shitload of new friends tonight headlining the special Thursday opener. It might not be my favorite kind of music, but these Texas boys know how to put on an excellent show. Watching the slap bass solo seemingly in fast-forward and the four-hand axe attack. Watching these guys work together virtuoso and complement each other so well, I got tingles.
They only let up for one song, their Top 40 Super-hit “How far is Heaven?” This 40-something white dude freaking out at the opening hook spilled his freakin’ beer all over the place. Hilarious.
After an unrelenting engagement, the dueling bass and guitar duo drop humbly to their knees and pay homage, “Muchas Gracias!” and are sure to shout out their main event, tomorrow at seven, the Field of Heaven, it is sure to be a showdown at sundown like the Blues Brothers versus Mad Max on crack version all up in some dusty Texas saloon. Get some veggie tacos from the Field of Heaven for dinner while you listen from the delicious fry bread place; equipped with red beans it’s likely the closest thing to Tex-Mex you can get around.
