Entering to Top Cat's theme, three guitarists, one drummer, and "a frog in my throat", Reservoir Cats aren't going to dethrone tyrannical laws, but they could robustly obstruct the barricades, and, like a rubber band on a slingshot, break off and fly to regions uncharted on the collective radar. Sarcasm rears its head early, where the lead singer jokingly remarks "it was a life changing performance for you wasn't it", as the venue slowly lifts to cruise control. Striking his strings like he's throwing down chips on a poker table, his gravelly voice supplants grit to the amplified diatribe of "I Put A Spell On You", a quieter number benefitting from fine inkjet solos, painting a blotted pattern of rollicking, riveting and reliable blues solutions.Wearing a silver and gold suit, my, but what a lot of hair have the Adam Bomb Band. If hair was converted to oil, Adam Bomb Band would be one of the richest bands in the US. Perhaps their identity would be advanced by renaming Adam Edam. Not that cheese is a bad thing, but that's what's dominant on the menu tonight, as a bastard child of Judas Priest and Motorhead twists the Famous Monday Blues around its backbone, disturbs the flow like a speed bump, then drapes multilayered microphone lighting, cymbal-intrusive flickering flames and an amicable drummer's arms as if he's powering a rowing machine in a heavy-duty gym, around a glam-metal, sweaty anorak setting.
Covering Steppenwolf's "Born To Be Wild" and The Kinks' "You Really Got Me", the crowd begin to bust obtuse moves with gusto, as the house is brought down like a Duracell bunny-implanted hybrid of the tempo, fortifications, and style of the traditional Famous Monday Blues. Roving far from self-absorbed show-off parameters, and jangling in the subterfuge, they're certainly a force to be reckoned with, but are likeably seductive, too.
