kevins_concertsThere were around 30 people in the building when Faun Fables opened the show. More people filtered in through their set.
Faun Fables is... different. A pair of... different people doing different music. A guy who mostly played guitar, and woman who mostly played drums. I was impressed, at first, but by the third song the novelty had worn off. They sounded rather amateur, like, "wouldn't this sound different!"
Rasputina was... different. But they do it well, for the most part. The band was formed many years ago, by Melora Creager, and was intended to be cellos, girls and rock in Victorian trappings. They've gotten loose with that over the years, but they still appeal on that level. The cellists were classically trained, but also lean heavily on Led Zeppelin-style bombast. They covered Cheap Trick's "I Want You to Want Me," Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here," and tossed in a little Ozzy. This was in addition the rough-edged Victoriana.
I was really impressed with Daniel De Jesus's playing. Much moreso than Creagers, but then she was doing lead vocals and generally being the show. Dawn Miceli played drums (no cymbals), sang backing, and appeared coy.
