On November 12, The 90’s Band performed at Mulcahy’s Pub and Concert Hall in Wantagh on Long Island, where their show was a blend of classics from the ’90s and ’00s. Digital Journal has the recap.
They kicked off their high-adrenaline set with “Semi-Charmed Life” and Pink’s “Raise Your Glass” and they immediately broke into Avril Lavigne’s “Sk8er Boi.” Front-man Phil and front-woman Bianca alternated lead vocals the entire night.
With Dan DelVecchio on lead guitar, they nailed Fountains of Wayne’s “Stacy’s Mom.” They picked up the pace with “I Want You To Want Me” and they did rock queen Melissa Etheridge justice with a soaring version of “Come To My Window.”
It was a treat to hear Phil sing Counting Crows’ “Mr. Jones,” and of course no ’90s set is complete without Sublime’s “Santeria.” They threw Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” in the mix and The Cranberries’ “Zombie,” which is the journalist’s all-time favorite tune from that decade, lyrically, sonically, and vocally.
Bianca showcased some angst on Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughta Know,” and she even sang pop-country with Shania Twain’s “Man! I Feel Like a Woman.”
Equally noteworthy were The Killers’ “Mr. Brightside,” Green Day’s “Basket Case” and the Foo Fighters’ “Learn to Fly.”
The Verdict
Overall, it was a great night of ’90s and ’00s music, and The 90’s Band is worth seeing live whenever they are playing in town. One will not be disappointed. Their set garnered two thumbs up.
