They opened their set with Phil belting out Green Day’s “Basket Case,” as green lights graced the stage, and they immediately broke into the infectious and upbeat “Ready to Go” by Republica with Bobby and Phil on backing vocals. After Harvey Danger’s “Flagpole Sitta,” Christina showcased her wide vocal range on “Zombie” by the Cranberries, where the listener could recall Dido. “We’re just getting started,” Christina said.
She went on to show some angst on Meredith Brooks’ “Bitch,” as the fans were dancing along, and they had fun on Third Eye Blind’s “Semi-Charmed Life.” Christina played tambourine on “Hey Jealousy,” as Phil nailed the vocals, and they interacted well with the crowd on No Doubt’s “Just a Girl,” as they got into the song. Christina sat on the “Mike DelGuidice stage” at Mulcahy’s to serenade the fans to Alanis Morissette’s “Ironic.”
One of the neatest parts of their set was when they dedicated Blink-182’s “What’s My Age Again?” to this journalist, especially since Phil and the journalist, share the exact same birthday (year included). They followed it up with yet another fun Blink-182 tune “All The Small Things,” prior to taking the country route on Shania Twain’s “Man! I Feel Like a Woman.”
Other neat songs included “Jumper,” Alanis’ “You Oughta Know,” as well as Lit’s “My Own Worst Enemy.” They also tipped their hats to such iconic female acts as The Spice Girls (“Wannabe”) and Britney Spears’ “Baby One More Time.” Phil’s best vocal performances were Oasis’ “Wonderwall” and Goo Goo Doll’s “Slide,” both of which he slays each time. They closed their lengthy set by dusting off Niravan’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”
As always, The 90’s Band delivers yet another fun show at Mulcahy’s, and this time, they shared the stage with O El Amor. Well done guys. To learn more about The 90’s Band and their shows, check out their Facebook page.
