When (also known as THC) hits the stage, you’d better hold onto your PBR. With the immeasurable “Big Dad Ritch” at the helm, the five-piece Southern hard-rock band from Denison, Tex., delivered their hell-raising brand of “red dirt metal” to a small but eager crowd at on Thursday night.
Featuring songs like “Clenched Fist” and “No Shame,” the ensemble spent the evening demonstrating that the Southern-fried combination of heavy riffs, pounding drums and blistering vocals can make for a tasty blend. Although the show didn’t quite clear an hour, THC kept it cranked to 10 for the entire time they spent under the spotlight.
