Porte a Portes

I managed to catch a couple of the groups at the band night at Doogies (a UoG CPES-SC production) last eve. Benton Brown and the Door to Doors rumbled with their deep bass lines, playing a handful of pretty decent originals. I'd caught a very similar show from them at the exact same location a few months earlier and both times were enjoyable (though this time I was slightly distracted by a wacky dancing couple that eventually got the boot for groping and disrobing on the dancefloor). The band interestingly kept a whiteboard of the setlist hanging onstage, crossing each track off as it was completed. The set comfortingly included the Door to Doors' signature funky instrumental song, which predates Benton. Catch them again at Cowboys on Wed. Mar 25.
BullShark Bites - a mishmash of friends playing together for the first time - only played covers, and though that provided bunches of fun to close out the night, I don't review cover bands and am not willing to compromise.
