Details:
Keith and the Complications don’t think they do things the hard way; but when you have almost a dozen people being led by their fiery frontman, things just become complicated.
The songwriting is intricate, employing lyrics that are simultaneously timeless and modern, with just the right amount of snark; not everyone can pull off the lyric “While you sell yourself on https://www.tradebit.com!” The subject matter can range from simple love songs like “A Fool 4 U” or “Darling Come Back” to bitter vengeance songs like “If It’s A Whuppin’ You’re A-Wantin’…” or “You Can’t Fool Me” to sultry come-ons like “The Song That Dare Not Speak Its Name” or “Every Time I’m Flying Blind.” The arrangements are complex, tipping their hats to the likes of Motown, Stax, and… Aerosmith?
The live shows, though, are a bit simpler. They are sweaty, joyous, and intense for both the band and the audience. While most people’s eyes are naturally attracted to Keith’s antics, it’s hard to turn away from the crisp reds and blacks worn by the whole band. Sharp suits for the boys, demure dresses for the girls. At the back of the stage, Troy’s propulsive drumming and Matt’s soulful basslines drive the music, while Mari’s keys, Ryan’s tambourine and cowbell, and the horn section of Danny and Kat add the frills. Jen and Rani fill out the vocals, leaving just enough room left in the arrangement and on the stage for Adam’s blistering guitar.
Meanwhile, as the musicians work, Keith plays. He runs through the audience, encouraging them to sing and clap along. He climbs back onto the stage, onto a bar, a table, or even a Complication. He mugs, he shakes, he jumps, he twitches, he never stops moving until long after the show is over. It’s clear by his energy that Keith loves what he’s doing, and it’s clear that he’s not alone; the band routinely gets a rowdy “Noooo!” whenever they announce their last song. As far as the audience is concerned, the shows are never long enough, and as far as the band is concerned, the audience is always right.
