Don Chambers
02. Sorrows Like Sea Billows Roll
So that's what they were singing. Nothing like kicking off your opening set with an unintelligible 10 minute droner. That was a really weird song. IMO.
I thought Don Chambers himself was really charismatic. (Although the song in question might've had Nick Cave consulting his attorneys). The challenge for me with DC's band was that the drummer, IMO, was just not very good. Played basically the same rhythm for every song, with little dynamics, and when he DID have a "moment" (a big drum roll, followed by a crash), it was just...off. Lost the beat entirely. Really puzzling, since the rest of the band was very, very good. But that for me was an impediment to really digging DC's set.
