The New Limb is no stranger to attention, having been praised by the likes of the OC Weekly, the OC Register, braxcomics.com, and KUCI 88.9 FM's Preess Pass Music show which all feature the same theme – that this band kicks ass.

 

But this day wasn’t just for the bands live performances. We were at the House of Blues Anaheim for their CD Release party! 10+ months in the making, “Sounds People Can Hear”, which has gotten nothing short of great reviews (read review) from music writers all over, would finally be shared with the general public.

When the band came out, the dance floor, filled with above average looking fans started screaming. It actually started a little beforehand when the band, behind the curtain at the time, band members would tease everybody by opening the curtain few inches just to close them back up. However, even though the curtains were closed, it wouldn’t stop the audience from partying and having a good time. By now, some 30 balloons were being tossed back and forth and even the press and photographers were getting into the fun.

When The New Limb came out (with two added members), the crowd went wild as bubbles filled the stage. The band started with “Autumn Leaves” and “Ebb and Flow” Before, singer Joey Chavez joked about their next album being made up only of songs about partying.

The set continued till the end without problems. If American Idol’s Simon Cowell was there, I am sure he would agree that vocally and musically, everything was on point. The 10 song set continued with crowd favorite “Birds and Stuff”, “Cycle Mother Earth”, and “Breathe Tenderly” before a mash up of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" with "Bizarre Love Triangle" by New Order.

The set ended with “Fire Song”, “Vagaries”, and “We Forgive You, Gene” before asking, and getting an encore, which can just be described the perfect ending with their cover of “The Weight” by The Band.\

The bands performance was nothing short of entertaining and, well, a perfect set that was well liked by the entire audience. I however do have one complaint…. One song encore? Thanks for teasing us!

Seriously, thank you for a great night and congratulations on your CD!
