Extra Wattage

The Watters Brothers were the opening band at The Coggs' CD release show. They like that 1960s soul rock sound (they cite The Who, Jime Hendrix and Rolling Stones among their influences ... I might add early Small Faces, and shouters like the Cops'n'Robbers, etc.); they made me think of The Chambers Brothers.

Muddy Watters ... I suspect some shoulder augmentation!





Danny Watters; singing, drumming ...



And pimpin' on the keyboard.



Non-brother Hamish Robertson also played some drums when Danny wasn't behind the kit.



MC Smooth Jay Gerald came up for a song or two.





Oh, and to help up Muddy.





Watters action!







There was a surprising drop in the Watters level.



Lots of stage action from these guys - some might say they're a little on the hammy side (but no more than, say, Jon Spencer). Their next show is at Babylon June 24.
