Rare afternoon show at the old Rudy’s, now named Three Sheets. I took my advice from the previous post and ambled in for Dan Greene’s set. As leader of the Mountain Movers, Dan usually shreds on guitar with possible harmonica. On this afternoon he played something called a “chord organ”. About the size of a large stack-on tool box, the chord organ creates a sound that’s a cross between organ and bagpipe. He played one long piece that brought some flourishes from the Mountain Movers set from 11/4. Upon close inspection, I notice the organ is a GE product probably manufactured in the 60s, restored to working order by Dan. Washes of sound were enhanced by Dan playing with his entire forearm. Chord? How bout an entire octave.
Stiff Curls are a young female duo from Philly. One played bass and the other played keys The tunes had an indie bent with the keyboard player assuming vocal duties. The bass player was in constant motion which added bounce. The vocals reminded me of Mazzy Star’s Hope Sandoval. Excellent set to a sparse crowd, shoutout to Rick Omonte and Shaki presents for arranging this show.
