Red River Noise: Concert Review: Athlete, Carney at Stubb's

Stubb's Bar-B-Q's outdoor amphitheater is notorious for insanely humid, sweaty summer concerts, so I was relieved when I found out the Athlete and Carney show would take place on the inside stage. But it turns out it wasn't all that refreshing inside either, so I was sweating anyway. While the two bands were enjoyable, it would have been a better experience if I wasn't constantly wiping sweat off me and desperately wanting some AC.

Opening act Carney (photo below) more than just warmed up the audience with it's '60s-inspired blues-rock. Singer Reeve Carney and his brother guitarist Zane took turns letting each other shine. Doesn't mean bassist Aiden Moore and drummer Jon Epcar are only there to fill the beat, though. They were also provided their time as the Carney brothers took a step back and let them have their own flashy parts. The guys performed big-top-inspired songs as a play on words from the Carneys' last name.
