First, ...I'm a little confused by the comment here. First, saying the Bastards would be generic, pedestrian guitar rock (besides being wrong) is kind of like saying Dylan would be a lousy act if he weren't such a great songwriter. The band showcases her voice, and once you get over the fact that it's coming out of that teeny frame, it's still got an amazing sound to it, which is a substantial part of their sound, whether you dig it or not.<BR/><BR/>Also, it's pretty weird to be talking about the lack of critical judgment in Cincinnati considering that pretty much everywhere this band goes, they are well-received critically. I recognize that it's fun to beat up on the local tastes for lacking sophistication, but you have to swim pretty far upstream to do so here.<BR/><BR/>It's one thing to not like a band because they're not to your taste. It's another to lack the critical facility to appreciate bands with heavy traditional blues influence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5697643525327566310.post-77271894532754940942007-09-11T07:37:00.000-04:002007-09-11T07:37:00.000-04:00I'm with you on the HB.

Put a boy out front and no one would care. Put a skinny woman playing guitar out front and it's the best thing since Velveeta in a box. I wish them well, but I don't like their music.<BR/><BR/>Cinti's music scene suffers from a serious lack of critical judgement, but that's another post for another day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
