Pencilgrass 8/28/15 Spaceland

Touted as a "save the Space" show, local glam funk legends PG funked  and rolled on a mini reunion tour. While I'm not sure what the Space needs saving from ( either bankruptcy, or its inability to properly price designer beers),  PG was there for the party. Frontman Pren sporting his best American Hustle Christian Bale attire reminded us that PG had three types of songs: disco, funk, and reggae. Playing some familiar oldies and a few new tunes, PG was obviously sticking their collective toe back in the local water. They still had some swagger, albeit with a receding hairline. The lineup was foggy but came back upon viewing. Pren on vocals and guitarro, wiry keyboardist, trumpet/rapper, Eric the Willoughby's former barista and BlueMoon member on sax, guitar, bass and drums. All local denizens that I see at shows or in Pren's case stickered on every flat surface in town. These guys are fun, and have fun playing their music, it would make sense that they have a loose association that allows them to throw an occasional funk party at a local watering hole.
