Live Review: Gobble Gobble, Wowser Bowser, Qurious

Local duo Qurious kicked off the night with their rhythmic blend of experimental electronica. They dawned glow in the dark masks and were illuminated by black light. Their costumes added to the great atmosphere created by their music.
Now, I’ve seen these guys about five times and they have yet to disappoint. Their sound is soothing and organic, yet intense and sometimes stirring. They consistently leave the crowd wanting more. Undoubtedly one of Atlanta’s best young acts.
Wowser Bowser was up next. I’ve heard their name around town, but prior to this night, I had yet to see them live. Wow, what a surprise! I’m fairly certain no one in this band was more than two years out of high school, but these guys had a stage presence well beyond their years, especially front man George Nick.
Even before Gobble Gobble took the stage it was clear that this performance was going to be tough to top. High energy, danceable, and fun. Oh, and four trash bags filled with balloons that littered the crowd throughout their performance. What more could you want? Clearly this band is dedicated and very talented. One of the more memorable performances from a local act hat I’ve seen in quite sometime.
Alright, now onto the headliners.
I’m not going to lie. I had NO idea who Gobble Gobble was, or even what it was, leading up to this show. Sometimes that works out for the best. This was one of those times.
These guys are just flat out entertaining. Their stage set-up was unique. Only one member was on the actual on the stage. The remaining three members performed from the floor, literally within the crowd. Banging pots and pans and constantly interacting with the crowd. The energy was amazing. They knew how to draw everyone in and keep you interested, even if the music isn’t the best thing you’ve ever heard, their show was thoroughly enjoyable.
