Throwing a Toaster into a Bathtub Don't Feel This Good

The stage presence energy the The Pots 'n' Pans bring could run Palm Beach County.

In a May City Link article about the band, Dan Sweeney wrote, "With the exception of a few musicians like Billy Boloby [Pots 'n' Pans front man], entertainment is dead."

Boloby, former music editor of New Times, expressed his feelings on the band in the article: "Oh, it's fucking good, man...It's really good."

Typically, these statements come from ego-centric assholes, but Boloby speaks the truth, for example:

"We're trying to stray away from the punk stuff that we all played when starting out," Evan Eastham, vocalist and bassist, told Closer Magazine's Larry Boytano in this Dec article, "But the drunker we get, the more we revert. So we have these garage-y power-pop songs that end up sounding punk."

The band's recently released four-song debuted EP is available on their Website, if you like what you've seen and heard so far.

But everyone knows a CD is nothing compared to the real thing, especially one of The Pots 'n' Pans caliber, so check them out at Backbone Music Feb. 29 at 7:00 p.m., where they'll be playing a benefit show for Fifth Estate magazine with Molten Guava, Monsters, the Walking Dead and Bill Blanks.
