At 12:00 midnight, the nastiest, baddest, most lethal bassist alive, TM
STEVENS, started his show with "No Good Without the Bad", a nasty
hardcore song with a solid rock bassline & heavy guitar riffs! "Sticky
Wicked" featured the rock guitar blast solo of P.M. Eaton!! "Body
Bag" was too wicked for words.......nuff said! Aahh....the Stone Pony was
trembling under the weight of the heavy-duty rockisms!! TM went into a jam that
sounded a little like "Thumb", but had the audience chanting "We
Want The Funk, Give Up the Funk".......the TM bass was so funky and loud
that the windows inside the club began to shake!! "Perfect Waters"
was followed by "The Gift (We're Not Goin' Home)" and the audience
participation was very, very good (some serious fans in the house, fo'sure!)
"Go My Way" was another hardcore slam track, but funkier was the song
"Stand On Up" with s'more funky, funky bass plucking & some
rapping by Kason! "Family Man" was another rap song but it was done
with a harder rock edge feel, thanks to TM and PM!! The audience participation
was nothing short of phenomenal!! The bomb
dropped on the Stone Pony when the band did a stank-ass, electrifying version
of "Hair", along with "Raw Like Sushi"........too hardcore,
definitely illegal in the USA!! "Boom" was just
that.......EXPLOSIVE!!! Totally boombastic drum soloing by the dangerous Chuck
Treece! The tempo change towards the end was also really good!!! The show unfortunately ended at 1:30am.
