We inadvertantly missed Cool and Unusual’s set at Liberty Heights on Saturday — they switched spots with LEGS and went a half hour earlier. Dang.
LEGS is an all girl group except for guitar ace, Lucian Buscemi. They’ve got a punky, Rollling Stones vibe and a really confident lead singer.
This was their first performance at Liberty Heights. Liberty Heights Owner Steve Deptula said that they had to keep cancelling because band membes kept quitting. Looks like they should stick together now. The crowd was pretty much ga ga for them.
There was a super young crowd hanging around outside as we got there – I suspect it was because tween band, Care Bears on Fire, was performing earlier in the afternoon. As was Fiasco. We missed it all because we were at an afternoon party at Superfine in Dumbo.
Everyone said that Cool and Unusual were really, really good. I am so so so sorry I missed them.
Lucky for us we heard Dulaney Banks perform at the party, as well as Luca Balser, who is an exceptional pianist and singer (he sang an unbelievable "Jealous Guy" by John Lennon). Julia Harris of Dulaney Banks is a force of nature. Kane Balser is utterly bluesey and cool on guitar and Steve Balser, father of Luca and Kane plays a mean electric guitar.
