PERCUSSION GUN

After a change in date and venue, the long-awaited WHITE RABBITS show was rescheduled at T. T. the Bear's Place in Cambridge, MA.  These guys have more talent than their down-to-earth presence implies.  Die-hard fans surely left fulfilled.  I know I did!

If YOU Fall In Love, Don't Worry...

I remember standing in my kitchen one November night in 2012, listening to "underground" music on my fave radio station, when Travis Gray's voice came at me like an ocean wave.  The song was 'Bound To Let You Go' off the soon-to-be-released WILD ADRIATIC EP, 'Lock and Key'.  I had to learn more of this band and quickly hit the interwebs for info.  Much to my delight, Wild Adriatic was to be performing near me, at Tommy Doyle's in Harvard Square, the following week.  Tickets were immediately purchased.  Show was amazing.

First time was a charm!

Not only are these guys tight and melodic, they engage the crowd with collaborative dance moves; something I feared was becoming a thing of the way past.  Wild Adriatic plays a modern style that gets them airplay on "alternative" radio while maintaining an old-school, bluesy, rock and roll energy.  Their songs hold a catchy familiarity that is a perfect recipe for developing a vast fan base.  But they are no wedding band; these guys rock hard (and look good doing so)!

Mateo Vosganian, Travis Colin Gray, and Rich Derbyshire

Since my first Wild Adriatic show, I have watched these guys perfect their style despite the loss of a guitar-player.  The vibes produced on stage reflect a strong brotherly bond between Mateo, Rich, and Travis that can not be broken but welcomes family members.  And to make things even more fun, their merch includes a "competition" of t-shirts donning "beards" vs. "fros", courtesy of Mateo's and Rich's grooming styles.
