Last night I caught thenewno2 (The New # 2) for their last show at the Key Club series in West Hollywood. It was a packed house full of everything from Beatles fanatics waiting the very front even during the openers Dynamite Walls, to hippies to hipsters, to people who had never been to the Key Club before, confused walking over to the vip section asking "may we sit there?". The hippies were priceless, long grey hair, beards, tye die t-shits. I loved seeing them at the show. Even Matt Sorum was in the audience.

Dahni Harrison is George's twin, and by twin I mean son. He looks JUST like him it's eerie. It was a psychadelic meets singer/songwriter show. The music is all over the place and I loved it. Weird keyboard effects, weird shit on the projection screen, with mellow lighting. Musically I love it, it's out there and strange and I wouldn't expect more from the son of a Beatle. Songmanship-wise, I was a little confused, I'm gonna be honest here. The songs were about broken hearts, love, relationships, girls, etc. The two didn't seem to match. But who cares? It's George Harrison's son on stage who looks just like him! If you squint you might actually see George! My favorite song and moment of the night was the song "Yomp" it's got a great retro sounding riff and he sings over the melody. This song also somewhat sounds like it could be a Beatles song.
