Nathan Dean & The Damn Band from Phoenix, Arizona, played a gnarly set of mostly original music. It was cool beans as Nathan Dean & The Damn Band incorporated good-timin’ tunes and choice drinking songs. NDATDB kept things shaking with Son of a Gun, Cheap Liquor, One More Bender, Small Town USA, Sh*t I Would, and That’s My Kind of Bar.
NDATDB also played a righteous cover of Beautiful Things.
Neato Nathan Dean was on guitar and vocals and was supported by Bodacious Bill Bogan on drums and backing vocals, the rad Jason Judd on guitar and vocals, and the totally tubular Chris Duke on bass.
Nathan Dean & The Damn Band was all that and a bag of chips. Check the deats at nathandean.net.
