'Time Loves A Hero', 'Spanish Moon', Dixie Chicken', 'Willin''
to their latest cuts 'A Night On The Town' and 'Why Don't It
Look Like The Way It Talk' taken from their latest studio CD
offering 'Kickin' It At The Barn', the band blew away this audience
and reminded them of Little Feat's distinctive signature groove.
The band ended with 'Fatman In The Bath Tub' where Richie unleashes
a drum solo filled with a flair which reminds us of the hidden
gem in the crown of drummers today.

HHX and AA - a great combination that
powers the band's distinctive signature groove
The combination of HHX and
AA in Richie's set-up together with his treatment gels both
these cymbal series and blends his overall drum sound. From
the stinging bell of the El Sabor Ride, the 'chick' and
'slush' of his projecting AA Flat Hats, the contrasting
crashes of the bright El Sabor and dark HHXtreme crashes,
the roar of his complimenting AA Chinese and the HHX Chinese
and even the high pitch AA Splash projected with distinctive
voices.
Shifting into turbo with the sludge of cajun funk
This was certainly a night
to remember - they are playing better than ever. A
recommended night out - don't miss it!

- 20" AA El Sabor Ride
