i didn’t get this posted right after the show on september 8th, so i’m doing it now.
putting politics aside for a moment, i thought i’d post a sample from the recent benevento russo duo show at the independent here in san francisco. the duo’s set was great, as were the opening sets by apollo sunshine and the jacob fred jazz odyssey.
keep an eye out for apollo sunshine. they’re a pop/rock trio (bass, guitar and drums, but with keyboards, pedal steel and laptop thrown in for good measure) that manages to conjure up about a million influences over the course of a single tune. their headlining set a few months back was a better showcase of their full range; the 45-minute set on september 8th suffered a bit from trying to do too much in too short of a time. here’s a better representation of the apollo sunshine experience.
but back to the original reason for this post: here’s the benevento russo duo doing their song “becky.”
