The Albany based local band, Lunic, posted their recent performance at Valentine’s. I must be a little honest that I think their performance here was a little off. I’ve been enjoying their last several performances when they had Randy McKinley as their bass player but noticing that he’s not in this gig and Lunic is playing without a bass player. Maybe that’s why this performance is not as energetic as they used to be? In my opinion, the cello doesn’t work and they need to get rid of the cello. I thought Randy was a perfect fit for the band and he gave the band what they exactly needed so my advice to the band, get Randy back. That band is missing out a great bassist that could help them get to the next level that they want. I’m kind of dissapointed in this performance. An electric guitar based band, sounds like shit without a bass player. Electric guitar and cello doesn’t work.

I still respect the band but this is just a bit of honest criticism. Katiee’s vocals aren’t that great in this performance as it sounded like she was losing it in certain places here and there. If they’re gonna have a cello in an electric guitar based band, I don’t know how I’m going to be able to hear that annoying thing live. The cello IS cool, I love the instrument but it only works with acoustic instruments. No offense to Lunic or their fans, I’m just being real with music and I’m not afraid to do that.
