Just got tickets for a Nov. 10th show in Charlotte, N.C. Party of four. Myself, the lovely lady (who's not a heavy metal woman, but likes the native instrumentation), her son that is full HU, and a musician friend that had a tumorous mass the size of a grapefruit removed from his brain pan. Though blind in one eye, and deaf in one ear, and recently divorced because of it, the $#@!ing bitch, he acquiesced to coming. Brow beated him into it, that I did.
And so it will be a Motley Crew I set forth with.
I'll let you know how it turns out...

Yuve Yuve Yu.

What can I say? They rocked it out. Everything I anticipated.

Standing room. Hadn't expected it, but 'sold out.'

There was an opening band. Didn't catch the name. Just two dudes. One on drums vocals, the other on guitar bass. Voacals were in Geddy Lee range and had a Rush, Led Zep, vibe. Pretty damn good for two dudes.

The Hu took the stage. Started with some of their mellower songs. Built it up to 'Yuve, yuve, yu,' 'Wolf Clan,' and then 'Black Thunder.' Came back and did a 20 min' encore of the same last three.
When it comes to folk music there is the sense that it all sounds the same to an certain extent. Bluegrass, likewise. Unless you break it down. Then you can tell the difference. And Mongolian folk/ heavy rock is no different.
If you like the sound you are gonna love it live. High energy, thumpin', chest pumpin', goodness.
I recommend.

Absolutely was. Too crowded for my usual like. "Nut to butts" in military terminology. Beths son Kenny has a bit of PTSD from his service, being in crowds $#@!s with him, but he didn't feel it at all there. Even though I told him he thought it was a 'Who' cover band up until this evening. Lol. There was no seating. Wasn't the venue for my friend getting over the grapefruit sized tumor in his brain so he bowed out. I'll have to make it up to him.
But, yeah, if you get a chance to see them live, DO IT.

I want a Steppes horse so I can invade the next county.

I'll be off the boat in a couple of days, if they are around the New England area anywhere, I'll go see them.

I may start using this as a reply to every post of cultural rot I see from now on:
