OK Boston, what the shit? You can drag your asses out to see all kinds of crap shows, waste your lives away at Mary Anne's or City Side, and you can't take fifty minutes in Cambridge on a Wednesday night? Seriously?
We've talked about this before, Boston. You need to see Wakey!Wakey! in concert. Mike Grubbs has a rare talent for song writing, a passion for banging the shit out of his keys, and a reedy, emotive voice that gets us to all the concerts we can catch. And if you don't come out and see him, we're going to have to fight you. You've been warned.
And here's yet another reason why you should come out: even when you don't, Mike STILL puts on an incredible show. He takes the craft seriously, and puts on a tip-top performance even for an intimate gathering of friends and musicians. And he does it with great aplomb, without complaint, and a quick, infectious smile. He whips out wickedly complicated, jarring, flaring introductions on his keyboard, pauses, takes a deep breath, and then charges forward with his musical offering. For that, we salute Wakey!Wakey!, and look forward to the upcoming show HEADLINING THE BOWERY BALLROOM IN MANHATTAN WITH FULL BAND.
