It's shocking to discover a musical group that is brilliant, possesses a huge cult following, and is (until now) completely unknown to oneself! The Bobs, appearing at the Metropolitan Room, filled me with pleasure, leaving me astounded and wondering where here have I been all my life, and where have The Bobs been all my life? This is a highly talented, intelligent, deeply original, humor-and-jazz-quartet that captivates us with charming, family-friendly, superb entertainment. They invent sounds and rhythms that put us into a whole new world of musical expression. One of my favorites was "Get Your Monkey Off My Dog."
One suspects The Bobs, who have been performing for 28 years, are not household names for the simple reason that they can't be readily characterized and pigeonholed by our category-dependent music industry. Find them on the web and hurry to their next show!
