Tuesday May 19, at The Troubadour Nico Stai opened for Youth Group. Two very different sounding bands with two very different audience's.
Nico Stai whose influences must range from Bruce Springstein to Counting Crowes - were the opener for Youth Group, but somehow drew a bigger crowd than the Australian band Youth Group.
Love old Youth Group with songs like Skeleton Jar & Shadowland. Sadly - the newest album has be a bit down with the lack of hooks they shared with us in albums past. What I never realized until I saw Youth Group live though was how similar they are to fellow Aussie Ben Lee. It may have something to do with lead singer Toby Martin's style of singing. Like Ben Lee, they both sing with a noticeable accent. I like it. I like that they don't cover their accent for a generic sound. But please guys, give me a good double cap or pop hook on the next album, k?
