David Wax Museum 11/30/11 Bar

Local outfit Dr. Caterwaul... started this free show. They closed with a memorable version of Tom Waits "Dirt In the Ground" from the Bone Machine. Adam Matlock on accordion and vocals is an eclectic treat. From Boston, David Wax Museum is a latin tinged folk amalgam that rocked. Male/female vocals, ukelele, violin, homemade drums, clarinet,and saxes really impressed in the back room of Bar. This band has a penchant for hopping off stage and parading through the crowd and this venue was perfect. The female violinist played and sang from atop the sound console and even led the line into the private party "pods" off the bar. "Yes Maria, Yes" and some beautiful hymns were the show highlight. This band needs a live recording or an offering that better reflects their true form.
