  • Hearing Aide: Joe Mansman And The Midnight Revival Band ‘Bastard’

    Bluesy hard rock is alive and well. Right in our very backyard in Glens Falls resides Joe Mansman And The Midnight Revival Band.  Their latest album Bastard dropped on July 14.  If you’re a fan of the New Orleans blues rock or LA-style rock and roll, this album is sure to please your ear drums.

    Joe Mansman And The Midnight Revival BandBastard is an easy listen, not too short, not too long and perfect for the commute to work.  I highly recommend the slower tracks such as “Den Of Thieves” and “Nobody’s Sun” simply for the bluesy style.  The piano/keyboards add more depth to the album, however, the other upbeat rocky tracks are well done, very comparable to Theory Of A Deadman or Wolfmother.   Very much worth a listen and keep an eye out for this Joe Mansman And The Midnight Revival Band.

    Key Tracks: Den Of Thieves, Nobody’s Sun, Cut Out My Tongue

  • Joe Mansman and the Midnight Revival Band Bring High Energy Rock and Roll to Plattsburgh, NY

    This past Saturday, February 25, Joe Mansman and the Midnight Revival Band brought their original sound to Retro Live, a new concert venue in Plattsburgh, NY. Between original guitar solos from Alex Mansman and the leadership of front man Joe Mansman, each member perfectly complemented each other.

To sum up Joe Mansman and the Midnight Revival Band, the only words that I can use to describe them is rock and roll. Joe Mansman brought a stage act that to me has been missing with a lot of newer bands. With songs like “Below or Above” and “Dead as it Gets,” I really felt that I was at a rock show in the late 1970’s but with fresh with new rock music. About half way through the set, the front man and keyboardist Chris Becker played a couple duets to give the show a smooth transition to a heavy ending.

They ended the show with “Live Free or Die,” and were not afraid to bring the show off the stage. With front man Joe Mansman jumping onto a pool table and guitarist Alex Mansman hopping down to the venue floor to play heavy riffs, the group brought a show that had something for everyone.
