Phosphorescent & Family Band played Brooklyn Bowl (pics)

Matthew Houk & Kim Krans

“About three quarters the way through the night, The Taking It Easy band left the stage to Houck to perform mostly solo. Joined by Family Band’s Kim Krans on the song “Endless Pt. 1” off of Aw Come Aw Wry, and then briefly by his aforementioned metal god keyboard player on an electrifying version of “Wolves” from his 2008 album Pride, Houck turned down the volume but not the energy. If anything, his charisma and charm, which allowed him to pull off a key/capo change right in the middle of “My Dove, My Lamb” and receive only a mild chuckle from the audience, managed to fill the space that had once been occupied by the screech of feedback and the pounding of drums. After a few more solo numbers, the rest of the band finally returned to stage to close out the show, ending with an absolutely devastating version of the song “Los Angeles” that sent the crowd home entertained if not slightly unsettled.” [ChunkyGlasses]
