Concert Review: Dave Wentz



I saw Dave Wentz last night at the White Eagle Saloon, opening for Jesse Valenzuela.

Wentz has another project, Tigers Of Youth, but that appears to only have one other member, a drummer. It seems likely, then, that Wentz solo is not too different from seeing Tigers of Youth, but it ends up being more expansive.

In addition to the Tigers of Youth material, Wentz also played some other original songs, as well as many covers similar to those found on his Youtube channel. Covering a variety of bands, they all end up sounding kind of the same, which ends up being a little boring.

Wentz comes off as a very nice kid - young and earnest - maybe a little more coffee shop than saloon. I don't doubt he loves music, but he might still be really nervous around her. That can be resolved.

For right now, I like the actual Tigers Of Youth arrangements better, probably because it helps him to have backup.
