As I walk through the door, I witness many of the typical items that come along with a Fiddlehead show. Desirae Hudson is painting a lovely picture to be raffled later on during the show. Cherie Mann is displaying all of her wonderful jewelry for sale. Felipe is running with a minimal light kit this evening but the drums are still lit up quite nicely. Fiddlehead is wailing away on one of their soon-to-be hit songs and wreaking havoc on yet another crowd.
Something feels particularly warm about this show. Maybe its the fact that the Gulu Gulu is just a comfortable place for me, but it just feels awesome. There is a decent crowd for a Thursday night and everyone is definitely entertained. Then suddenly I am summoned to the stage to play during the break. Luckily Dan Kupka happened to be there with his melodica and played along splendidly. After some good time favorites and a botched rendition of "Friend of the Devil" I gladly hop off the stage and let Fiddlehead continue to unleash chaos.
Most of the second set sounds damn good, for reasons which may be obvious if you know Fiddlehead at all...Some people get up and dance for a bit, which is awesome. The original concerns about Fiddlehead maybe being too loud are not a problem at all. Even Tim Johnson, the monster himself, rages just a bit lighter in the Cafe environment. They play right up until the wire and even a little beyond, as the crowd begs for encore after encore.
If you missed your chance to have your face melted off this time, tune in next time, as the Fiddleheads fight the Blorg once again at The Farm in Essex on April 23rd...or perhaps some other exciting locale in the meantime. Until then here is a preview of a little something you should attend next month:
