I Just Read About That…

[DID NOT ATTEND: August 29, 2023] Kings X / Lady White Rat

I’ve seen King’s X five times.  I’ve enjoyed all of their shows although I started to find them a little samey.  I haven’t been all that interested the last few times they swung by.  But this time–it has been four years after all–I was.  I was going to reach out to my friend who lives near Sellersville to see if he wanted to go.  But I didn’t because we were going to be driving my daughter to college.  And then he contacted me to see if I wanted to go!  I was bummed to say no.

When I first looked at the setlist I was afraid it was exactly the same as the last few times (it always seems to start the same).  But they changed things up quite a bit in the back end of the set which makes me really hope they come back again soon.  I don’t know if dUg can still hit the notes, but it would be fun to see them once more.

Lady White Rat is a crushing hard rock power trio based out of the Lehigh Valley PA region. With captivating song writing, melodic harmonies, and a dynamic range of sounds varying from metal to jazz, Lady White Rat’s music offers a sense of familiarity while incorporating a fresh unique sound uncommon in the scene. With emphasis on the live experience, Lady White Rat performs high energy chaotic live shows with the ability to command a crowd and make your head bang for the entirety of their set.

I listened to a song (from the show) and they were good.  Heavy with good harmonies.

The King’s X setlist was really good, with seven songs I haven’t seen them play before, including It’s Love (!) an In the New Age.  So, yes, guys stick around the east code or come back soon.
