with their guitars and their amps. The
resulting effect was a collage of in
sane reverbs, ranging from the
screechy horror kind to the scratchy
record hip-hop deal to even some sort
of strange UFO sound (well, at least
the way they sound on TV anyway).
Jake's Blues clearly gave Be

brave the fall chill. The long applause
at the end of their show verified the
crowd's approval, and as the crazy
noises from the stage finally died out,
the audience was left with the viva
cious aftertaste of the spirit of rock
(disgustingly mixed with that of
apple cider).
