Hey, Did anyone catch either of Effigy's shows last week? On Thursday they were the "dedicating" band at Crowley's tribute to Nathan Davis, marking the one year anniversary of Nathan's untimely passing. After the stage was dedicated and renamed the Nathan Davis stage the guys in Effigy launched into Nathan's favorite Floyd tune "Wish You Were Here". It was an awesome tune to kick off their killer mini-set of rock tunes and these guys rocked the house like never before. I was so impressed that I had to catch them the next night when they played a full three sets of tunes at Overtime Sports Pub in Raleigh. And boy they did not disappoint. Playing for the first time at Overtime, the band immediately won over the crowd and had everyone dancing and singing the entire night. The place was packed full and I couldn't help notice that every single pair of eyes was glued to the band, especially frontman Mr. Smith. He has to be hands down one of the most energetic, crowd pleasing performers I've ever seen on the local bar scene.
If you've never seen these guys and are looking for an awesome, rocking night then you MUST get out to see them. They are a killer rock cover band; one of the best to come along in a long, long time. Check out their website for more gigs.....it's www.effigytheband.com
