Because the showcase at Club Deville was running behind schedule, just as the League of Extraordinary G’z and I entered, another artist was going on stage for his show. I have to say that I was rather impressed with Chicago hip-hop artist
Omen, both because of his positive lyrical vibe, and also because of the first-rate, neo-soul band that backed him. I recognized the drummer and bass player as two musicians that had been playing drum solos on Sixth Street earlier in the week, and before Omen’s set was over, the drummer and bass player had switched places, so the band’s final drum solo was played by the bass player (and played quite well, I might add!).
