a little a cappella
i went to see straight no chaser last night, and thoroughly enjoyed it. i was especially pleased by their human drum machine, er, vocal percussionist, who was suitably impressive.
i could do without the avarice music. they admitted they it was a little early for that... but at least their versions are interesting, and they sang two (2) avarice songs that actually tried to get the holy back in the holiday. and there were only four avarice songs anyway.
while they had some typical a cappella music, like "sittin' by the dock of the bay", most of it was adapted popular music, including a prince medley and a sitcom theme song medley. their ObEncore was actual acoustic a cappella (the rest was sung with mics and amplification, probably needed for a 1,500 seat theater).
recommended. will go again.
