I haven’t seen a band as enjoyable as Denmark’s Thee Attacks in a long time. They played an impressive show at Bo Diddly’s , Nov. 23 for a fair sized crowd that should have been twice as large.
While I missed an opening set from the Sophmore Jakes, I arrived just in time to catch Thee Attack’s incendiary set of hyperactive rock and roll combining elements of the Strokes with Jet, fellow northern rockers the Hives and liberal doses of the Who.
They were almost literally bouncing off the walls and not missing a beat, a riff or a catchy vocal harmony.
They played pretty much all original music in their hot, high octane, sweaty set that was off the hook.
That made it a tough act to follow for Hamilton modern rock band the Reason who played a solid set of radio friendly modern rock beginning with ‘Don’t Fail Me’ off their most recent album.
But they had solid vocal harmonies and sing along choruses and catchy guitars reminiscent of Treble Charger and even a bit of the Foo Fighters.
They played a couple of brand new songs plus their radio hits including their latest ‘Drive Me Home.’
