Everybody was at the Slice, Sept. 19 for the Necessities’ CD release party.

It was wall to wall people as Jesse And the Dandlelions , featuring Jon Martin on bass  had the audience warmed up and dancing. Martin fit right in with their Violent Femmes/ Clash/ Said The Whale tinged power pop.

The Necessities owned the crowd from the first track “Brian Wells,” from their CD “ Forbidden Fruit.”

They also played my favourite song “The Goat Song” and had the audience chanting “Death to the Sun,” during crowd favourite, “The Cricket Song.” which featured special guest Jesse Northey on vocals.They also brought Kelsey Jesperson on stage  to add some violin.

Local band Dean Selena opened the show.
