Went to the Lorenzo Goetz, Temple of Low Men reunion show at the Cowboy Monkey (Champaign). Both bands broke up over a year ago, but were back for a couple of nights of fun. There were a lot of the same people that have showed up in the past. It felt a little different than before, but in some ways nothing had changed.

Elsinore started off the show with a new drum set and a new sound. It was a different feeling to see them more from their more folksy feels to straight out rock. I heard some one in the audience say that Ryan Groff has a pretty good voice. I guess they weren’t expecting an something like that from an opening band. It is funny to see people preconceived ideas come out at a show. Ryan has a smooth sexy voice that makes all the girls adore him.

Lorenzo Goetz was back to their fun jumping ways. Everyone was having a great time. I was quickly becoming intoxicated, and that just made it more fun. If Ryan is smooth sexy then Larry is more like a night of dirty sex. One that leaves you completely satisfied and longing for that night for years to come.

Temple of Low Men was back together for the topper of the night. Brandon has one of the strongest voices that I have ever heard. To continue with the sex comparisons, Brandon is like a long weekend of sweaty sex that may bring about glimpses of enlightenment and leaves everyone exhausted for days.

Not a bad way to spend a night.
