Zachary Cale 3/12/18 Cafe 9

Zachary Cale was a hip quintet from Brooklyn.  Lead guitar, keys, drums, bass, and Cale on guitar and vocals. Original songwriting, Cale reminded me of the cerebral snarkiness of Luna's Dean Wareham. Dressed in black, Cale oozed downtown hipness ( which he probably disdains). The band was tight, even veering into a krautrock freakout jam. I think it is a curse and a blessing to be slogging it out as a musician from NYC. Your game has to be elevated by the vast array of artists, but how to differentiate from the crowd? Cale and company have a good sound, he even played a Roger Mcguinn type of hollow body. Look for Zachary Cale to show up in the summer festival scene.
