Pink Moth, Raised by Swans plus Megan Hamilton and the Volunteer Canola had something for everyone, May 26 at the Slice.
Approximately 20 people were enjoying the show as Megan Hamilton and the Volunteer Canola were up first with some upbeat roots rock, and then tested the crowd’s musical knowledge by giving a CD to the first person to tell them who first sang the theme from That 70s Show, ‘In The Street.’ For those wondering, it was originally performed by Alex Chilton and Chris Bell of the band Big Star, though Cheap Trick redid a more popular version for the show later.
They played a superb version of it. They ended their set with a touch of ebow powered psychedelia.
Pink Moth was interesting. Pink Moth, aka, Ray Cammaert, also sat in as Raised by Swan’s keyboardist.
But solo, he took up a guitar and captivated the crowd with laid back melodies and some drum and keyboard effects he added through a pedal board on the floor.
Raised By Swans, which include former Gandharvas bassist Eric Howden, laid down a laid back ambient Brit-pop Radiohead meets U2 and Said The Whale sound down which continued to captivate the crowd with waves of sound and a hypnotic groove. It was very enjoyable.
