The legend of The Vox Elder continues...
Halfway through their third set of The Unheard Of – Live at Candy's Pub in St. Lawrence, Wisconsin, the music was getting so intense that The Vox Elder blew up his amp while doing cover of Heart Full Of Soul. We were all cranked up dancing and screaming like it was an Elvis or Beatles show back in the 60s. Suddenly the lead guitar went quiet. They finished the song then started checking power cords and fuses to get him back online but realized it was the amp itself so they finished the show with Vox's awesome voice less his equally awesome lead riffs and, like true masters of the art, just kept right on playing finishing the show. The next day Ted opened up the amp and found a blown fuse with capacitors knocked down and burned up like a tsunami of psychedelic energy and hurricane force winds of rock music harmony had driven the amplifier beyond it's limits. That's how 60s psychedelic rock is supposed to be done so the legend lives on. I love when they do that song and am still getting the twingles and quivers remembering the awesome event.
In case you missed the show there's another coming on August 4th starting at 3 PM at Dundee's Roadhouse in Dundee, Wisconsin. If you can't get there we will, as always, have Facebook Live covering the show and of course Dave will provide much better edits of the singles afterwords. I heard The Vox will have a new amp built from WW2 Army surplus bunkers, tanks, the powerhouse from an aircraft carrier, along with other paraphernalia to beat the swords of war to the plowshares of music. Okay, I may have exaggerated that last part just a smidge but a new bigger amp and backup system are actually being prepared for the event.
If you haven't heard yet, The Unheard Of is celebrating their 40th birthday touring southeastern Wisconsin through the 2024 spring, summer, and fall seasons. Their popularity continues with new vinyl Albums being released, YouTube updates and a following all over Europe, Greece, Great Britain and of course loyal fans all across the United States.
The Unheard Of – Live at Candy's Pub last Sunday – July 14th, was a lot fun and, to me, the best venue we've been to in my years with the band doing sorta roadie, helper outer, as well as Vox's assistant and official writer upper of the band's history as it continues to unfold – it just keeps getting better all the time!
I want to give extra mention of Candy's Pub since we all had such a fun time dancing, sipping drinks, and eating some delicious food. We definitely recommend a trip there while you're out having summer fun and frolicking. Rev up your motorcycle, car, horse and buggy or whatever you do your summer trippin' and explorin' on or in. Be sure to tell them The Unheard Of sent you.
