Just in from this side of prog rock and jam band fun, comes Les Racquet, the power rock trio devoted to bringing jams to epic proportion.
Latest record ‘Whale Hail’ celebrates these touchstones, with verbal shoutouts to all the themes that make long-form rock so much fun. ‘Queen’ screams Blue Oyster Cult, and ‘Zumi’ is a singalong reminiscent of Phish’s jams, if Phish had record scratching in their music. It’s an ultra-ambitious genre buster, and I hear the band rocks headbands pretty well too. See them at Bowery Electric on November 2nd, when they return from their east coast tour.
