Larry and His Flask

“Pandemonium” is the opening song of Larry And His Flask in their set tonight at the Crescent Ballroom. Their harmonies fill the atmosphere as the five of them line the front of the stage, it’s almost comparable to a barbershop quartet to begin with and then Larry at the front shouts, “Alright you F**kers, 1, 2, 3, 4!” and before you know it you’re dancing with beer all over your shirt because the drop comes out of nowhere. It is utter pandemonium in this room tonight. One of the things I find super impressive about this band is that the drummer is standing up using setup of a bass drum, floor tom a snare drum, a crash cymbal and a splash cymbal, but they are still maintaining quite a large sound! Pure madness. “Big ride” is a worthy sing along as they manage to engage every member of the audience to sing along with these comedic songs, in this folk-esque style. They finish with “Call is What You Will”, which has that fantastic quality of the rest of the band repeating what the lead singer sings, but in a stunning three part harmony.
