(313) Arnold und Ayro in SF

[James Hurlbut]

Fun show by Jeremy Ellis and John Arnold last night in san francisco 
despite an insecure bouncer pulling the plug in the middle of a jam 
to announce last call and then physically threatening Ayro! Some of 
the covers were a bit cheeky for my tastes like Ayro's take on 
"Erotic City" but others were blended beatifully like Wham and a nice 
little nod to 313 with bits of Night Drive through Babylon. Funny to 
hear Ayro croon John Beltran's big club hit "Kissed by the Sun". 
Overall, I would say to me it was a digestable detroit sound, 
whatever that means. Some great mpc jams rearranging salsa tunes and 
james brown cuts to maximum effect. Wholelottatalentonthestage. 
Thanks John! Any bodies in the bay make it out to Recloose? bad 
timing with those two shows being the same night.
