NO SMALL CHILDREN were ROCKIN’ OUT and KILLING IT all night!!!
NOTE: THIS IS A MUSIC REVIEW. I LACK ANY ABILITY TO “TALK” MUSIC UNLESS IT RELATES TO MICHAEL JACKSON. THIS REVIEW WILL BE FULL OF LAME COLLOQUIALISMS ABOUT MUSIC LIKE ROCKING OUT OR KILLING IT.
Went to a show a few nights ago and was literally blown the $h!t away!!!!!
The Band: No Small Children
The Website: https://www.nosmallchildren.com/
Having just seen a great set by another band, and having just finished a crappy $15 burger, I was ready to leave when NO SMALL CHILDREN started. Ended up staying for the rest of the song which led to staying for their whole set. They were ROCKING OUT / KILLING IT the entire damn night!
What it wasn’t:
It wasn’t just the awesome bassist who was ROCKING OUT the whole time. And man did she KILL IT on her vocal solo.
And it wasn’t just the drummer KILLING IT the whole night. Even though she had a field trip with 46 4th graders the next morning.
AND it wasn’t the singer/lead guitarist giving it all she had during every song. I thought she was going to pass out a few times she was busting out tune after tune (her face got dangerously red on more than one occasion).
It may have been:
It may have been the matching dresses. Anybody who can pull off a tight red dress while wearing low-riding chucks has a win in my book. These were 3 ladies pulling it off with ease.
It also may have been the fact they busted out a song called Creepy Drunk Guy as a creepy drunk guy got “jiggy with it” right next to me.
It also may have been that these were 3 school teachers (as I said before, one even had a class field trip the next day). Teaching by day, rocking by night.
Whatever it wasn’t or may have been, they were an awesome band that put on an awesomely satisfying show. I can’t remember the last time I got such pure joy out of a music set.
