Zevon & The Werewolves Of Melbourne live @ Yah Yah's
2nd January 2015
I had been looking forward to catching a show from this band for a short while now and even more so after catching a live set from them on the radio (which can be heard here.)
Once
Zevon & his Werewolves took to the stage the energy in the room
lifted to a whole other level. Each and every one of the players in the
band are seasoned veterans of the Melbourne music scene so I was
expecting alot from their set. Needless to say
they
did not let me down. Kicking proceedings off with the Freddie King
classic Big Legged Woman. Zevon's guitar work blew me away, he knows how
to strike the perfect balance between flair and playing for the song
which is not an easy thing to do. Also showing that he's not only a
great player but a great showman as well his command of the stage was
fantastic cracking jokes throughout the set while encouraging the crowd
to get into the tunes. Perhaps my favourite "stage move" of the night
(which although is nothing new still works perfectly) was the use of a
beer glass as a slide towards the end of the show. Their high octane
brand of Bluesy Rock 'n' Roll is right up my alley and something that I
will be looking forward to seeing again. Once again my faith in the
Blues has been restored and I can't wait for the next show.
