PAWS playing The Crepe Place (Santa Cruz)

PAWS. They like things intimate, which worked perfectly in a location like The Crepe Place.  The crowd was pressed close, they themselves moved closer to the crowd.  That last sentence seems to contradict, but I think it works.

This band hails from Glasgow.  That's Scotland.  Yet, I couldn't help but think this band would be a big hit at The Smell (Los Angeles).  This band's music speeds you into hyper-energy.  Admittedly, in a tight space like The Crepe Place there wasn't much of a stage show, but when the bassist bangs his head against a hanging lamp and breaks a bass string (how often does that happen?) one can only imagine how awesome their stage shows must be at a larger venue.

For their last song, the drummer from Total Slacker set up his drum set and we got a thrill of seeing two drummers going at it.

They had fun with some puns.  Since The Crepe Place is a restaurant that serves crepes, they decided to come up with menu options such as The Crepes of Wrath.
