The Ro Sham Bos


Wow... They're phenomenal and getting better. Last night they played to a full house (that's right, FULL HOUSE) at Kelly's Olympian to an adoring crowd. Their development is rapid and they had new songs to boot! Their catalog is filling out very nicely.

They're 100% original, and their originals are ... original. Equal parts prog rock, jazz, punk, 20s flapper, blues, and a coating of some wierd John Paul Jones/Zep tint all over the amalgam, and they have become a fluid but muscular outfit.

Ryan and Dustin make up an intimidating rhythm section - which would be great in and of itself but the three members have equal mixes in the batch. Madeline's voice has truly become the fourth instrument. Her piano playing is both a rhythm and lead part. And more of their set has dual vocals. They've tightened up their arrangements and the effect has cranked up the pace and already high level of excitement in their gigs.

See them soon before they take off to the stratosphere!
