Friday afternoon at the Obelisk

Amazing Baby opened my Latitude with an onslaught of deep, muddy guitar chords that sounded like the end of the world.

But despite a messy ethic and trendy look there was a classic rock core to what the Brooklyn four-piece did, with enough hooks and hidden melodies to get the early afternoon crowd tapping their feet, if not standing up.

The Broken Family Band kept the spirits up, their generic, lumbering rock large enough to translate to the arena-sized crowd, and familiar enough to keep them entertained.
