Harvey Street Athens Concert reviews
Oh, Scott...
After witnessing Harvey Street perform four times, I can confidently say they never disappoint, even when frontman Scott Weiland is heavily intoxicated. The music was flawless, although the vocals left something to be desired. Despite Scott's drunken antics, the group managed to remain entertaining. Things took a turn for the worse when Scott stumbled during the popular song "Interstate Love Song," yet he managed to finish it in his inebriated state. During the band's hit "Dead and Bloated," Scott went off on a drunken tangent, prompting the other members to walk off stage, leaving him to sing a capella. Following a brief break, the band attempted another song, "Loungefly," with little success. Guitar player Dean DeLeo intervened, leading the band into "Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart." Despite the challenges, Scott made it through without any mishaps. Even with the set being cut short and the frustrated atmosphere on stage, I found myself enjoying every awkward moment. I look forward to purchasing their new album, set to debut on May 25, after hearing three new songs at the show last night. I am a dedicated fan of this band, and not even frontman antics reminiscent of Axel Rose can deter me from attending their future performances.
