You know what they say about chick guitar players, right? This one rocks. I learned about Escaping Zane when I did this past week's podcast for Epitunes and "Misery" was included. I loved it and other songs posted and decided to see them at the Joint show. They did a tight 4 song set as part of a larger music festival (I suffered through another band I'd like to charge back for my time) that was, I think, hampered by less than optimal sound. It looked like the singer was having a hard time hearing. I also talked with Pierre (drums) afterward and he said that not having his own drum kit was a big challenge for this show. (Everyone was playing through the club's backline of amps and drums.)
Overall, the show didn't live up to the studio recordings, but was still entertaining and the potential for greatness is there. Gold sounded good on guitar and Pierre and Dave were a solid rhythm section. Todd put a lot of good energy into his show and did well given the tough sound conditions. I'd love to see them again in a place where they are using their own gear. But please, people, play "Misery"!
