Mando Saenz Rules!
27 January 2008 in Concert Review, Concerts, Events, Music, Random, Video, You Tube, blah blah blah, live gigs
He’s about to make a “mondo” breakthrough (sorry, couldn’t help it)
Making the most of my opportunities today to go out and wander, I hit the in-store gig at Bill’s Records in Dallas for Mando Saenz. His new album, Bucket, is coming out soon (more on that later this week) and he is out and about promoting it. He, along with his Bass player and Drummer, played new tracks such as “Wrong Guy,”, “Pocket of Red,” and my personal fave, “Seven Dollars.” He closed up with the featured track from his previous album, Watertown, “When I Come Around.” I am too tired to go into the many details that made this short but fantastic show so memorable. I will say this however, there are only a few times that I have felt like I was seeing an artist that was truly about to break-out, and this is clearly one of those times. Displaying a rocking sonic vibe that sets himself apart from many up and comers who simply hope to sound like someone else, Saenz had no qualms about plugging in and turning the amps up a bit for this latest release, even though many people are more familiar with the Nashville resident’s folksier debut album. I took some video, and again, the sound isn’t as good as I was hoping, but I think you’ll get the picture. Come back later this week for my opinion on his new CD, okay? Okay.
