Take the steely blues guitar sound from Stevie Ray Vaughn, match it with the rhythmic bass and drumming of Golden Earring and you get the Terry Quiett Band and one heck of a show.
The crowd at KatHouse, consisting of mostly people waiting for later bands, was treated to quite a surprise and quickly got into the show, making for a fantastic atmosphere.
The place erupted as the lead singer, Terry Quiett, held some of the notes for what seemed like minutes in their cover of Pink Floyd's "Have a Cigar."
The band put its own twist on a crowd favorite when they covered Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower." Starting the song in a cool, calm Dylan style, the candle-lit room was reminiscent of MTV's Unplugged set. As the song progressed, the band showed its true colors as it broke out the electrifying guitar sounds made popular by Jimi Hendrix's version of the classic.
Overall it was an amazing show and would have been well worth the outrageous cover charge had it lasted more than 45 minutes. It is unfortunate not many saw them because of their 8 p.m. time slot.
The band is hoping to get more dates scheduled here in Manhattan.
If they do, I recommend this show to any rock-'n'-roll fan.
