Old Wives @ Maxwell's
By Star Child
It was a beautiful night for a show at the wonderful Maxwell's in Hoboken. Upon entering the room it seemed I was one of the only people there. A tad worried and wondering when people were going to show up, I grabbed some nachos before I headed back into the room at 8:40pm. Some more people showed up which was a relief but compared to the room it seemed like a small crowd. It didn't really matter because
Apollo Run were giving it their all. The Brooklyn trio stood out. From the singer switching from guitar to piano and even trumpet, to the bass tapping, to the the last 'song' when the band came into the crowd and just clapped and foot stomped, the band knew how to entertain. Singer John McGrew has a nice sultry voice that went well with the music. Jeff Kerestes was great on bass. It's one thing that the music sounded great, but it was really nice watching Kerestes perform. You could tell he was into it. They ended by getting off stage and dancing and clapping with the crowd. It was all about having a good time. This show comes after the band played a successful theater show for Citizen Presents at the Players Theater in New York City with Black Taxi and Milo & the Fuzz. Pretty good follow-up show.
The Ones & Nines and
Old Wives would follow.
