I was invited to this concert on a dare by a ginger. We almost saw them in London last autumn, but missed our chance. Given my penchant for surprises, I have to say I was delighted by the performance. Was I the dunce that got to be right in front of the stage not knowing any of the lyrics? Sure. But in the week since I was fortunate enough to see Good Old War perform, I am much more proficient. Their sound is clean and lovely, with a healthy dollop of fun. They knew when to chit chat with the audience, when to unleash their virtuoso of a guitar player, and to warn every man in the audience of the devilishly handsome drummer's charms. Mmmm. Should they return to the Bowery, I will dare more friends to experience their fantastic show. Great work!
