Opening up the show was explosive guitar/drum Virginia duo Illiterate Light (singer-guitarist Jeff Gorman and drummer Jake Cochran). The group is touring in support of their album Sunburned, out now via Thirty Tigers.
They opened their set with “Wake Up Now”, running at 100 miles per hour. Their high energy performance continues to “Closer”, seeing Jeff head-banging and Jake standing on amps or running through the crowd… the band never seem to slow down. When they are transition between songs (tuning), they’re often playing random notes and drum noises so there’s no dead air.
Highlight of their set was a cover of Neil Young’s “Vampire Blues”, but they’ve extended the song in length and long middle-break.
They ended their 45-min set with “Better Than I Used To”, singing “Some days, I feel good and some days, I feel bad… but every time that I think of you, I feel better than I used to.”
Despite the freeze and snow (in mid-April!), fans lined up outside the Entry to try to get in to see Mo Lowda and the Humble, which is a good sign for this dynamic, progressive alternative rock band.
Speaking of the weather, the band (which started as a trio song singer/songwriter Jordan Caiola, drummer Shane Woods, and bassist Nate Matulis) gained notice when they signed to Bell Tower Records, to release their debut album Curse The Weather, in 2013.
Now the group expanded with touring member Kirby Sybert, for their new album self-titled album and touring strong and building up a strong fanbase from across the country.
Speaking to some new fans, they’ve never seen Mo Lowda before, but through word of mouth, they decided to come check out the band. If they love the band, they’re going to spread the word to their friends… and that’s the best kind of advertisement.
Mo Lowda and the Humble’s self-titled album is out now.
