Little Barrie

Went to the Viper Room last night to see a band called Little Barrie. We were on the guest list because a friend of a friend works for their US label, but having seen them once for free I'd pay to see them again. They play a rock-funk-blues mixed sound, and usually I find bands of this genre to be dull, but these guys rocked. The guitar player -- a tiny little guy named Barrie -- is incredible. He kind of looks like a cross between Martin Short, Rob Lowe, and Thom Yorke, and he has that twitchy get-me-out-of-my-skin thing that Thom Yorke has going on. All while wailing away on the axe, man!

The album does not do them justice, but check them out here.
