CD Release show review by Raul Kemp w/"Shows Big & Small"

CD Release show review by Raul Kemp w/"Shows Big & Small"
"...Then H-Beam started. These guys are always a trip. They were introduced by a Tony Clifton type character wielding a chipping wedge and a purple pimp hat. This was just the beginning of the parade of characters to come through this show, as is typical with H-Beam. The music was really tight, as would be expected from a band that has been playing and listening to these songs in the studio for months. They have sort of a Flaming Lips/Zappa type sound with a stage show that could have been an episode from the Muppets. Leader Matt Walberg was excellent on that guitar of his. Russell Wright was a good stable bass substitute, as always, and the rhythm chicken on drums was really good too. Also props to him for the hand fart solo. Awesome. The show came to an abrupt awkward ending when one of the crazed mutant characters apparently pissed off the drummer enough to storm off the stage mid song. You never know, with H-Beam, this could have been planned although probably not the best way to encourage the crowd to buy your new record, which is probably why Beam did it. Kings of theatrics and drama these guys are. I hope Matt comes through on his promise for the next show to be "something we have never seen before." -Raul Kemp, Shows Big and Small

H-Beam interview on Lightning 100

We Came At You Live On The Green

Not only did we get to share the stage with the notorious Space Capone and the Cooling System, but we were privileged to share the bill with who I personally believe are Nashville's finest entertainers, Here...Come...The...Mummies!

Great crowd, great vibe, great stage, great courthouse (Oh, the things we got away with on the courthouse steps). H-Beam's lineup was shamma lammin. The adorable Dylan Rowe on Bass, Ben J on the drums (Lost his H-Beam virginity on this show), Nathan Johnson and Topher Walberg on keys, always crowd pleasers. Stayc Givhan (you knew him as Bradley Knobbler ladies), Boots Hill making sure the screaming fans were at bay, and a big, steaming shout-out to Kelly F. with NOTeNEF Promotions pushing that "Useful Box Of Hair."

Thanks Chris Cobb. Thanks Mayor Dean. Thanks Nashville. We had a great time and hope you did too. It's refreshing to see the potential this city has.

Remember,
H-Beam loves you... there's always next time... and doo doo baby.

Matt
