Nitzer Ebb's Douglas McCarthy struts on stage
NITZER EBB AT THE DISE - When it was finally time to play, the band filed-out one at a time with a blue haze of light drenching the stage at Boston’s Paradise Rock Club. When Douglas McCarthy finally appeared the show launched very quickly into a fury of four-on-the-floor beats that made you want to move.
McCarthy’s voice ached and screamed lyrics that mesmerized you for the entire show. They played all the tracks from their latest release, Industrial Complex, their first new material in almost 15 years. As McCarthy held up the front by strutting across the stage back-and-forth all night, Bon Harris held his own covering vocals, triggered electronic percussion, floor tom, cymbal and MalletKat (an electronic version of a mallet keyboard like a marimba or xylophone). Jason Payne has stepped in as the band’s new live drummer and he alternated between playing sitting down and standing up while playing electronic pads.
