Local Review: Midnight Rhythm Combo – Self-Titled

Midnight Rhythm Combo
Self-Titled

Midnight Rhythm Combo = Nikki Costa + 20 years of musical theory

 

Midnight Rhythm Combo is a disgustingly talented, tight and professional blues combo with jazz overtones and organ. Their female vocalist hovers between silk and husk. They’re a band who could play a Las Vegas casino, demand a rider of a five-star hotel + linened dinner and a guarantee of $1000 and not be laughed at. They could play a double two-hour set with a 15-minute intermission. They could make clubs sign contracts and fax them back. And, well, that’s all I really have to say about that.
