The Wet Secrets played an eclectic show at Studio 54, Nov. 20.
While I missed local surf band the Atomicos, I caught most of the set of dark country music performed by the Dearly Departed, featuring Devin Gergel and Steve Foord plus Megan Brown on fiddle.
There were plenty of tortured murder ballads which sounded like Foord and Gergel'
Eclectic bill.
While I missed local surf band the Atomicos, I caught a solid set from local death country band the Dearly Departed.
There was plenty of instrumental changeover Devin Gergel and Clayton Smith took turns on drums including a second snare drum on stage. Gergel played mandolin on a couple of songs.
They sounded similar to Foord and Gergel's other band the Necessities.
The Wet Secrets are always put on a fun show so I was surprised the room wasn’t full.
There was plenty of room to move as the Edmonton band introduced a lot of new, toe tapping songs, when they took the stage just after midnight though numbers were lacking even through they didn’t start until after midnight.
They began with a couple of older songs including “Grown Your Own Fucking Moustache” and a couple of others to get the crowd dancing and moved on with some newer material.
The red and white band uniformed group had the room moving with lots of shuddering bass and plenty of horns.
