I LOVE Goodbye Jumbo - it is a great album full of unique songs, interesting lyrics and great riffs. I jumped for joy when I heard that World Party was coming to my town, and was confused that none of my friends seemed to have heard of them.
When I realized that the WP show in my home town had been the night before, I actually drove 3.5 hours to Atlanta to see him/them a few days later. It was something of an adventure.
I brought friends, pumped the show, was very psyched. So let me warn those of you who are about to plunk down some coin to see this show.
The drummer/drumming/percussion which give WP and GJ its driving sound and infectious beat has been replaced by a fiddle. In case this sounds like a misprint, let me repeat that the sound of WP that you love from Goodbye Jumbo, has gone 'goodbye' in a 'jumbo' way.
The result sounded like a bluegrass cover band was playing the once great songs of WP.
You've been warned.
