Last May I mentioned that I had seen Adam Kowalczyk open for Rodney, and that I expected good things from his band, adam & the weight. Well, on March 13 I went to their cd release party at the key club. I wasn't disappointed. The band played a relatively short set, but I was really impressed by how refined their performance was. Both muscially and with their stage presence they put on a first-rate show. Adam's brother, Ed (yes, the lead from Live), sang on one of the songs, which was very cool to hear. The Live influence is pretty obvious, Adam's voice has a lot of the same traits as Ed's, but I have to say that's a big plus for me. In fact, I was so impresesed that I did something I rarely do these days... I bought the cd. Their song Come Undone then proceeded to be stuck in my head the entire time I was in France. I highly recommend checking out both the band and their album.
