The Beauties (Dakota Aug 26/12)

Having honed their skills on this very stage Sunday nights for years now it should be no surprise just how tight The Beauties are on stage. I didn't recognize any of their own songs but they easily had enough material for the evening, mining other catalogues as well, such as some slightly lesser known Stones'. With two electric guitars and an acoustic they've got the flexibility to do a lot and they did it well. These didn't overshadow the big bass sound nor the singing drummer. In fact, everyone but the bassist took a turn at the mic as they knew how to keep it interesting after so many gigs. A fun night, glad I was finally able to make it out on a Sunday.
