Music Night... Kind of Self Explanatory

Last night I went to a show at The End in Nashville. It was my friend Jeff's band, Dropshot, formerly known as Next Years Best. They were set to play last so a bunch of us sat through 3 other semi decent bands before the guys went on stage.

The first band sounded like a weird mix of 80's and monotone voices. I did like their sound. The next band was this weird, confused, two-man band. They were loud. The lyrics, "I want to be high" and "I want to get low", in the same song, made for the confusion. The 3rd band was very good, lots of catchy songs

and kinda dirty lyrics (hahaha). My only criticism is that the singer sang with

this scratchy affected voice the entire set. It sounded as if he was wearing out the back part of his throat. It made my own throat sore just to hear him go on for 35 minutes.

Dropshot finally arrived on the stage and all the people there for the other bands left. Buttholes. A few guys from the other bands listened on which was nifty of them. I genuinely like Jeff's style. Early on in his career, when I first moved to Tennessee, it was very melodic and beautiful, and mostly acoustic in feel. Now, he's taken his beautiful voice talent and style to a rougher setting, if that makes sense. He still has some softer songs, especially with this new blend of people, but he's kept some edge which I like. I miss Next Years Best (they were really loud and awesome), but I dig Dropshot.
