Live Review: West Fest 8/12/06

RFC's Senior Street Festival Correspondent Kirstiecat reviews local favs Bobby Conn and Califone at this weekend's West Fest: It wasn’t until after a few songs when it became clear that the momentum was gathering with a bit more in favor of a rock compnent vs. a more laid back folk sound. Although there wasn’t much banter between songs, an audience member who incessantly yelled out, "Play some AC/DC" got them to laugh a bit as they kept reassuring him "Don’t worry...It’s coming up. We do originals as well as covers." It’s unusual to say the least to see a band rocking out that hard with a violin player. I can see people who love the film Hedwig and the Angry Itch loving them, but I guess I’m more of a Breakfast on Pluto type of girl...
