I came away from the first time I saw The Effens perform live at The Legendary Horseshoe Tavern impressed with the band, their tunes and their live show. Click through to see those photos right here. I was pretty pleased when I saw their name on the line-up for this show. I was, of course, interested to see how they had progressed from the last time I saw them.

The Effens have got a powerful sound and magnetic stage presence. The songs feature heavily distorted guitar tones that veer from 90s grunge to post-rock along with tons of energy and attitude. I love the vintage guitars and wild effects. The singer is a commanding figure on stage and his almost miniature 70s vintage department store guitar emphasizes the image.

The band still impressed with their energy, attitude and tunes. They did a great job of warming things up for the amazing bands that followed. Click through to check out my thoughts on and photos of Pony and Charly Bliss.
