The Charlatans at First Ave.....



This band is the most underated, forgotten, influential band ever!!!! Oasis ripped this guys off, The Music, the Arctic Monkeys. You name it these guys have so many pieces to their music. Their music has basically been taken and turned into pop stardom by over 50 u.k. bands. The charlatans have been around since the 80's and add so much class to the music world. To explain their performance is like telling someone they sound like oasis, the music, mixed in with a little country. You can't describe the amount of layers, styles, rifs, loops, and swings. This band is a british compilation that can still put on an amazing ride. I was expecting a 25 song performance at the show, but 20 was perfect. Charlatans play young, look young, and may very well be around for another 25 years. Can you say a better version of the stones??? It was an extremely low turnout at first ave, but I'm confident they'll be back. Their lead guitarst loves the vacation in the states and said, "we just love gettin drunk and touring all over the world. Meeting Tim Burgess was preety awesome. My friend Amy pointing out that every lead singer named Tim is extremely cool. Tim Burgess, Tim Wheeler, Tim from the Stills, any more people?????? Buy the Charlatans album now, it's another greatest hits. The cd flows top to bottom. Best song is hands down Blackened Blue Eyes. I might be at International Noice Conspiracy after I play tennis tonight. Chickady Cheers -B-Dawg
