Mike Dillon is a force of nature, a whirlwind on stage, pummeling his vibraphone and assorted percussion and belting out his throaty vocals. It's useless to try to pigeonhole Dillon and his cohorts. On Band of Outsiders they invent new genres on the spot; hardcore NOLA feedback punk with a Brazilian twist in Carly Hates The Dubstep, NOLA French quartet jazz mashed with Zappa having a chat with Tom Waits, it's all there and more in 7AM at the Jazzfest. Lounge act whispering, topped with of Carly Meyers sexy Trombone? Yup, but be careful: All Walks of Life ends with a rant.
Dillon has a lot of pet peeves, mainly about authorities who get in his way when he wants to have a good time. By doing his own out-of-the-box thing he can feel free and wow the crowds. Band of Outsiders is a "fuck yeah" party album that'll be hard to top this year (or any year).
