The Upper Crust: Bowery Electric, New York, NY (3/19/2016) Retroactive Review.

Boston, MA's The Upper Crust put on quite possibly one of the most fun shows you can possibly attend. Allmusic aptly describes The Upper Crust as "AC/DC meets The Buzzcocks at a theater showing of This Is Spinal Tap", so I shan't attempt to better that, since it's so right on the money. They dress in 18th century attire; wigs, pancake make-up, songs about being affluent and the like.

The song titles alone simply don't do justice to material; "Little Lord Fauntleroy", "Tell Mother I'm Home", "Come Hither Fair Youth", "Eureka, I Found Love" and "We're Finished With Finishing School" are just some of the titles from this fantastic live band.

Here's a plethora of photos and videos that I took at the show from stage right. Because they're taking up an obscene amount of space on my phone...so here you are. 'Twas a great show.
