The Mooney Suzuki Plays at the 9:30 Club
Wednesday night, The Mooney Suzuki played a Valentine's Day show at The 9:30 Club. I first became acquainted with the band when they played at MIT's Steer Roast back in 2001. Now, like many college parties, a bunch of loud, low-quality bands show up, but The Mooney Suzuki was distinctive in that they were pretty good, leading me to turn to the partygoer next to me and ask, "Who are these guys?" It wasn't until last night that I finally got a chance to see them live again.
The audience was small, owing in part to the bad weather, but the band was enthusiastic, nevertheless, and the lead singer made sure to keep the audience excited. And then there was the bald guy standing in back jumping up and down in time to the music and screaming.
They played a lot of familiar songs and then announced that they had a new album which would be released as soon as they found a new label to take over from their now-defunct label that they had been previously signed to. By the time they played their encore to a group of cheering fans, it was easy to forget that they were playing to a sparse house and that the streets outside were cold and deserted.
Also, I ended up running into Chris Kamsch again, lead singer of Dingleberry Dynasty who I first encountered back in October at the Beatallica show at the Rock and Roll Hotel.
