Review by Kieran Prasch & Evan Levy, Pics by Doug Potoksky Into the second day of the festivities, I decided to go take a look at a band I've never heard of before called The London Souls. And I'm glad I did because they were seriously impressive. To describe this band in one word, it would undoubtedly be "groovy." This fresh rocking three-piece had great style; each of them also had an interesting look, from frontman Tash Neal's white rimmed UK-style sunglasses and the drummers serious Robert Plant haircut (his drum solos also had a Led Zeppelin feel to them as well). This power trio sported the gear consisting of a convertible red hollow body guitar, an edgy sounding Vox amp, a vintange styled Ampeg bass cab, and a huge minimalist Ludwig drum kit.
Some notable songs included a elongated jammy cover of AC/DC 's"Long Way To The Top" and an original of theirs called "I Don't Need Nobody." Despite their bold rocking sound, and following a noisy feedback riddled guitar solo, The London Souls even dropped some surprisingly good reggae tracks as well. These guys might have even been having more fun than the audience, as the set ended with a simple "Well, I guess that's it" when they ran out of set time! London Souls are a MUST SEE, and you can find out more about them here.
