I have seen both Tony and Dave acoustic before. The first time I had the chance to see Tony was opening for NOFX a year or so ago. The music was great but did not really fit the bill. I have always been a fan of hearing some of my favorite bands play their stuff acoustic and hearing NUFAN stuff acoustic is pretty fantastical!! As for Dave Hause I had seen him play with my friend Matt of Northcote above ragpickers I believe it was late last winter I cant even really remember. Dave really has a great song writing style that suits acoustic very well. In his band The Loved Ones things are much more sped up and energetic but his acoustic set has a whole different kind of energy! Always enjoyable to watch and listen to.
Now the new comer for me was Mike Erg his set was very good as well. I dont know much of Mike's music but from his acoustic set I am definatly going to check things out!!!
Lastly was Greg Rekus. I have seen Greg play alot in his band High Five Drive and he has always been a ball of energy. His acoustic set was just as high energy. He brought up a riser made of wood and used it to keep time as he played.
All in all this was a great night with some really talented musicians! Its to bad more people never came out to enjoy the music!
