A few weeks back I saw FILTER live at Gramercy Theater in NYC. It was a spur of the moment occurrence and I didn’t know what to expect. Filter was amazing as always, but there was a new band that stole the spotlight for me that night. A band that stole the moment and truly showed me that rock music is indeed multi-dimensional. MENEW captivated me enough to push for an interview and pick their minds to see where they come from.

There was something in the air on the night of March 8th. A feeling, an energy emitted off the crowd which consisted of mostly males from their mid 20’s to early 50’s. An air of frustration, an attitude of the forgotten, and a need to vent and let loose was boiling under each and everyone’s skin. All they needed was the spark, the catalyst if you will, to ignite a flame that would stay with us for days to come.

The crowd was swollen with overdue anticipation, yet no pits, no crowd surfing.  I grew restless.

On Thursday night, I walked into the Gramercy Theater not knowing what to expect. Having been called on at the last minute to cover Alt-Rock veterans Filter, I hadn’t had the necessary time to preview the catalog of the opening acts, Evan Russell Saffer & MENEW. As it turns out, I’m glad I didn’t.

 

The venue: small. The crowd: stiff and cold. Half of the concert-goers were already drunk and itching for Filter’s headlining set, early in the night. The first act comes on, an unfamiliar act by the name of “Evan Russell Saffer”, which turns out to be basically a one-man band. As always, I throw all judgments aside and open up my mind and ears. I found it enjoyable, despite the crowd’s predominantly disinterested demeanor.
