Parchman Farm
Café DuNord
February 18, 2005 early show

Review by Jake Thomas

After seeing an early evening show upstairs at the Swedish American Hall, I staggered down into the dark Café du Nord to witness the supreme ruling of local rockers Parchman Farm. They haven’t been around long, but they rule so hard that I would probably consider them my favorite local band playing right now and I try to see them when I can. This show was no different – total annihilation. It seems like every time I see them play, I spend most of my time watching Carson play bass, the dude is truly amazing. He doesn’t just play bass, he plays “lead” bass, some seriously complicated stuff but in tune with the music, never wankery at all. But more importantly, this night was special for one reason – the band was joined on stage by none other than Dickie Peterson from Blue Cheer for the final song. Blue Cheer! That guy was just as rockin’ as ever, like he stepped right out of 30 years ago. The crowd was going nuts and I know the band was super stoked. It was a great night for rock and I’m glad I witnessed it.
