Rodstradamus on Matos: November, 2005
Everything he says about last Friday's World Saxophone Quartet show is a lie. Here's what really happened: Eleven nameless Scandanavians, in more or less the same trumpet-heavy configuration as Johnny-come-lately horn rockers Chase, played ZZ Top covers for a week and a half. Looking and acting not unlike like Blood Sweat and Tears front man David Clayton Thomas circa 1969, the band's singer spent much of his abundant down time pretending to zap the capacity crowd with a dented microphone stand while fidding with the buttons on the dress of a front-row nurse--at first. By day three, no one--on stage or off--wore any clothes at all, excepting a couple of hats. Spontaneous games of badminton flared in club and upstairs bar; three spilled onto Second. Food and liquor were on the house. The performance's peak arrived early afternoon on Wednesday, November 2, when new locals Bauhaus arrived just in time to sit in on a six-hour, sing-along "Tush," which was perfect.
