Comment:
Man, can that guy scream or what? Claiming not to be very good at stage banter, Screaming Boy proved otherwise through his odd interaction with bandmates between songs.

Learning Skills: E=Excellent, G=Good, S=Satisfactory, N=Sad Really

Stage Presence: G
Stage Banter: E
Image: E
Appearance: G
Use Of Stage: G
Strengths/ Weaknesses/ Next Step: There were lots of effects pedals strewn about the stage, making it difficult for the band to move around. But that really didn't do anything to stop them. These guys loved being on the spot, especially the singer, who introduced his right hand henchman as "That's Roger. I call him 'Bitch' sometimes."

Musical Analysis

Teamwork: E
Work Habits: G
Organization: G
Audience Participation: G
Sound: E
Composition: G
Songs: G
Strengths/ Weaknesses/ Next Step: An annoying problem with the mic had the vocalist over-pronouncing his Ps and Bs. That in turn took away from his otherwise flawless delivery. This band avoids pigeon-holing through playing ballads in the midst of bite-your-upper- lip rock.

Other Skills And Areas Of Interest
Charisma: E
Sexiness: G
Haircut: G
Indie Rock Footwear: G
Nods To Disposible Fashion: G
Cool Equipment: E
Level Of Inebriation: G
Actual Ability: E
Strengths/ Weaknesses/ Next Step: Remember that kid on "3rd Rock From the Sun?" The vocalist kinda looks like him. They all looked to be having way too much fun. After the show they "forced" everyone to sign their mailing list. Way to attract fans, guys.
