This show was waaaay better than I thought it would be. It’s a local group comprised of a drummer, acoustic guitar, hand drums and 2 male singers. They started off the night with 2 great cover choices, but the singer sometimes seemed lost. Even though the lead singer was sometimes off in tone and timing, they all made up for it in stage presence and hilarious original songs. Some of their original songs covered serious topics such as, amputation, watching cartoons, biking to the bar and a fairy tale tongue and cheek bit called “Chasing Fairy Tail”. Illegitimate Sons also made sure cover the typical Irish jig, “Hats Off to Beer” and a ballad, “Masters of Disaster”. The group had props for almost every song like helmets, capes, umbrellas, sparkly shirts and they even gave out hats so everyone could take their "Hats Off to Beer".
This show had a surprisingly good sound. The acoustic guitar was miked and the drums didn’t overpower the other instruments. It was an interesting combination of instruments, but it worked out and the hand drums seemed to take the place of a bass. Even though the vocals weren’t the strongest, this was one of the best times I’ve had at a local show. Illegitimate Sons reminds us that music doesn’t have to be so serious and emotional all the time, it can be fun and entertaining!
