A late coming independent review of the August 4th, Chicken Box show, captures that “Whoa” of one’s first GPN show.
“I think I get it now. This is an extraordinarily talented and borderline upscale jam band with a smokin’ hot front woman, something we’ve not seen in the past. The fact that we were just lucky enough to go on a musically intricate journey with them and all the while watch Grace’s well . . . everything . . . makes us feel like it must be our lucky day. “

Vermont rocktress Grace Potter is back with her Nocturnals to release their third LP album, Grace Potter & The Nocturnals.
the bangles : hero takes a fall
First chick band that I thought was great. Listen to those harmonies and that lead guitar sound. Before they “sold out” (which they themselves admit) they had a great thing going. In 1985 I hung out pre and post show with them in a bar in Virginia Beach – still a night to remember. Susanna is still doing it with Matthew Sweet – Rain, Different Drum, Cinnamon Girl, You’re So Vain, Maggie May – check out “Under The Covers”.

Hi Kired. Nice that you are the ‘contributor’ here and and not some stranger – welcome.
Probably lots of people are thinking the same as this:
“Grace Potter and the Nocturnals have something so exceptional and flat-out hot that we, unfortunately, may never see them on Nantucket again. If they do decide to keep coming back to our special island, I doubt we will get to see them for twenty bucks. And that, quite simply, is the deal.”
I had the feeling last fall at Revolution Hall that they might have outgrown that venue, and was so disappointed they had to cancel there this spring – feel fortunate to have seen them even once in such an intimate setting, though.
That was a great review ! . . . good first offering Kired.
I left her a thank you note but just realized forgot to leave a link to TIS as encouragement to stay up on the band . . opps – will go fix that !
Derik has the Mojo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That everybody needs?!?
He got the medicine the everybody wants…..
There’s a show tonight, and John’s got it covered!
Nocs rocked the doc last night! Love Matt’s look without the trademark stach.
fyi – for people not in the know, I’m sure you have no idea what anyone here is saying.
For anyone confused by that one .. the Woodstock: Then and Now documentary that ran on VH1 last night showed a clip of Grace and a pre-mustache short-hair Matt. :]
Derik:
Nice job!
