The Auctioneers Kill It at Mercury Lounge

Like a Southern boogie influenced Faces, The Auctioneers took to the stage at the Mercury Lounge last night and played a ferocious set, complete with big riffs, expert three part harmonies and even some fuzzed out feedback squall filled jams.

I've seen the band a bunch now, and each time they seem to get tighter and together. Erik Broberg is a monster on guitar, Ryan Alexander Gregg attacks his keyboard, and drummer Donovan Pyle and bassist Chris "The Monster" Kapica are completely locked in. Tying it all together is lead singer EB Sollis, whose soulful voice and infectious personality help wrap the crowd in The Auctioneers powerful rock and roll swagger.

Can't wait for their show tomorrow night at Santos Party House, part of Dim Mak's Cloak & Dagger party. Last month they played the party and brought out a horn section for a Band cover, wonder what surprises they'll pull out Thursday night.

Check out this video of their track "Young Man's Blues" to get a taste of the band live.
