As part of my annual summer vacation with my now teenage boys, I was in NYC the past week. Our first night there, I dragged them to a show at the Village Vanguard - the Warren Wolf Quartet - just so they'd have something to remember me by - as in Hey - remember when Dad dragged us there?

We did a lot of stuff during the rest of the week , but for our last night in New York, we saw the Security Project at BB King's.

If you don't mind nostalgia bands with "sound alike" lead singers,then all I can say is this performance was awesome. This is a band performing the music of immediate post Genesis Peter Gabriel. The sound alike Peter Gabriel singer was great - without coming off as a Gabriel wannabee. Think San Jacinto, Not One Of Us, Hum Drum, I Don't Remember.

Holy crap - the band was awesome.

Did the Gabriel band (Secuity Project) do any old Genesis tunes? - maybe how Gabriel might have done them in the early-mid 80s.

I'd sure go hear them if they came down to the DC area.

I've been pretty impressed with what I've heard thus far from Warren Wolf- how was the VV show?

In a word, Warren Wolf was amazing. Never heard of the guy - but wanted to take my sons to the Vanguard - so I went. An incredible show.

For the encore they did Back in New York City and Fly on a Windshield. Both were excellent. Trey Gunn, by the way was incredible. It was a real treat to hear him play.
