American Martians
Far and away the best band I've seen in The Villages and possibly the best band I've ever seen anywhere.
The guitar player is unbelievable. As good as Clapton, Page, Beck and any other guitarist that you can name. The drummer was not only one of the best drummers I've ever heard but also did much of the singing covering Journey, Led Zepplin, Queen and many others. He played like John Bonham and sang like Robert Plant. What an amazingly talented guy!
Bass player was outstanding as was the keyboard player who also played rhythm guitar in some songs. The harmonies were spot on perfection. You would have thought you were listening to the original recordings.
One thing I found odd was that they had a guy that I originally thought was the lead singer, but he didn't sing very much. he was more of a DJ, talking to the crowd and making stupid jokes. I could have done without him as he took up too much time between songs.
The song selection was fantastic. One great rocker after another.
Go see them if you get the chance.
