While the NFL draft is still going on right now here in Nashville, I bypassed downtown traffic and went to a show of a bunch of pretty new bands.
It’s been a while since I’ve done that so I was curious as to what would jump out.
Without fail…
The drummer makes, breaks or limits the show.
Everything else finds its place in reference to the drums.
You need an engine back there. A force. The captain of the ship.
***New bands do a lot of things like new bands would: amateur-ish and poorly. But what’s more fun is finding the things they stumble into doing really well, really pro. And there’s always something.
