Press Reviews rockzone.com Concert Reviews: The Rudy Crew I got to the Hard Rock Cafe an hour before the bands were scheduled to go on. The show was a 5 dollar cover charge, which wasn't too bad at all. I have never seen a show at the HRC before, so I was really surprised with what I saw. Most of the people have never ever heard the bands, or even knew what ska was. They soon,however; were in for a treat. The Rudy Crew started things off. RC had a tight, reggae, sound. They also played their instruments rather well. I found them very enjoyable, as they played one great song after another. One of the things that I liked was that one of their singers was really good at toasting. When the guy started doing it, my mouth just dropped. Some really didn't know what to say about them at first, but after a while, they were enjoying themselves. I look forward to seeing these guys in the future. The show was really fun, and I thank Converge records for getting some ska shows up. They will be having a ska/reggae night every last friday of the month. I hope this will give the scene a spark, and we could even see 3 or 4 ska shows a month. Alex Rud is a Staff Columnist. Contact him at arud@rockzone.com. Let us know what you think.
