You
One of the cool parts of CMJ are going to random locations you would least expect for a concert. The Pure Volume House was tucked away on Extra Place between Bowery and 2nd, and any other night I might not have thought to check out a concert in that alley way, but Friday October 22nd I went with the intentions of checking out Down with Webster.
Patiently waiting for the seven member band to take the tiny stage set up in the basement venue, I struck up a conversation with four gentlemen from the Columbia University track team. Their excitement and general energy around seeing Down With Webster made me even more curious about this band’s music. These gentlemen made it clear that DWW are not like any other band and wanted to make sure I had enough room to jump around and let loose because they were for sure going to go crazy. They told me how they stumbled across a DWW song online and had been obsessed with the group ever since.
When Down With Webster took the stage, I don’t know who were more entertaining to watch, Down With Webster or the gentlemen from Columbia’s track team. They warned me, and they were right, from the moment Pat, Cam, Bucky, Tyler, Marty, Kap Ten, and Diggy took the stage, they went nonstop like a chemical reaction between 5-hour Energy and Red Bull drinks. They exceed my expectations. The band breathed new life into music that at times has become cookie cutter when they performed songs such as Go Time and Whoa Is Me.
Check out JSD’s exclusive interview with DWW’s Tyler, Cam and Bucky. Find out what the name Down With Webster really means and see if the members stay friends after being challenged to JSD’s Speed Round.
