“A good night for a sonic rendezous….”
BY MARTY PEREZ
Live at Cincinnati’s Taft Theater/The Ballroom on Feb. 26: Alejandro Escoveo and Susan Voelz, plus opening act Peter Buck and his band. This was not the tour to reminence over “South Central Rain”; instead it was one to Dust the Broom and get The House Rockin. Amps rarely went below twelve and efx peddles set at “deep muddy.” Motive for this tour seemed simple: stomp the house, leave ’em smilin,’ and have a great time doin’ it.
Mission accomplished in Cincy.
