Nice review Pat! Congrats on the new gig. This review takes what you were doing on the blog and really expands on it. To the people missing Hot Snakes, yeah we all do but it’s not like Rick broke up the band to start Obits. They ran their course, gave us 3 of the greatest albums of all time and now are doing new things. Give it up to the Obits, great record, great 7″ songs, and great live shows. I got a chance to talk to Rick before their show in SD and he seemed extremely happy and proud of the new band, it’s breathed new life into him since I talked to him last.
Thanks Pat.

Obits are a great band, but live they come across as sorta dull. They played 2-3 hours after Night Marchers ( who played earlier the same night at wicker park fest last week) and in comparison (which may not be fair) they weren’t in the same solar system in terms of passion and energy. J. Reis and the other ex-hot snakes guys just BRING IT!

I LOVE the Obits record, but live was a real downer.

Gotta say though, his voice cuts through like a motherfucker. You could take Froberg and any 2-3 other people in the audience and get a damn commendable band from that.

It’s better than the Dead Weather, but The Night Marchers kicks everyone asses! Go John Reis!
