Last night my beloved and I hit the Loew’s Theater in Jersey City (A fantastic palace of Cinema built in 1929…not yet restored…grand and decaying like Asbury Park’s Paramount) and we heard the truly wonderful band The Decembrists. We have dug their sound for a long time, but had no idea that they could put on such a raucous, whimsical and at times frenetic live show — there was a hurdy gurdy, a two person whale puppet, alot of rock lighting wackiness and two sing-a-longs. All this from a band that sings most often about the tragic deaths of folk, mythical or historical characters. Don’t miss them when they come to your neck of the woods.
