Funky biscuit nightclub in boca raton12/5/2023 Tthey came out with everyone on stage, except for the band’s percussionist, and horn players. These guys are a massive eight piece band, with three horns, two drummers, (one of which is on percussion), a guitar player, a guy on bass, and a guy on keys. ![]() ![]() mingo Fishtrap took the stage and when they did they got the house on their feet. The fact that I had never heard of these guys, just goes to show the massive amout of bands that are in Austin. Next up was another band form Austin, but this time it was one I had never heard of. Anyways it was a really great set and I was thrilled that they were asked back to the Biscuit. It encouraged me to give Skynyrd another go, after my bad experience with that band. I’d never heard “The Ballad of Curtis Loew” before, but I throughly enjoyed it. Actually the real reason they performed “The Ballad of Curtis Loew”, was because they were preparing to go on a Skynyrd cruise and were asked to prepare a Skynyrd song for the event. The Skynyrd song makes sense because Skynyrd is a southern rock band. They don’t seem to be the kind of band that would play Grateful Dead songs. “Ramble on Rose” was a very interesting pick, because it wasn’t something I expected these guys to pull out. The first was “Ramble On Rose” by the Grateful Dead, while the second was “The Ballad ofCurtis Loew” by Lynyrd Skynyrd. While the band played a great handful of originals, they also threw in two covers witin their set. On the other hand songs performed form the Sunday Morning album, included tracks such as “Shotgun” and “Caroline Williams”. The tunes they performed off of the second album included “Medicine Man” and “Free Again”. My favorite out of the baand’s catelog has to be the Top Hat album, because it has such a great New Orleans flavor to it. “One Foot in the Ether” is the title track off of the band’s first album, but they mostly performed material off of their second and third albums, entitled, Top Hat Crown and the Clapmaster’s Son, and Sunday Morning Record. These guys are definately a band worthy of checking out, their song, “One Foot in the Ether”, which is what the band is known for. I’ve seen them on ACL, but only one other time live. I came to seee The Band of Heathens, who are this great southern singer songwriter rock group from Austin. It was a night of surprises, among other things. I returned to my regular hangout at the Funky Biscuit almost two weks ago and saw another fascinating night of music.
