The trio of rockers brought their sound from Memphis, Tennessee, and had me wigglin&#8217; with nods of approval in the packed venue.  The show (Saturday night) almost felt oversold, which I find common at the Echo (they let in too many people).<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Jay R played approximately 20 songs in 60 minutes, though I could be totally off.  It could have been 50 songs in 45 minutes.  Either way, Jay&#8217;s brand of garage rock is mesmerizing, a new fusion of metal, indie and punk.  This is not some mindless noise machine.  The band is musically talented, tight and agile.  The drummer especially blew my mind.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Jay Reatard&#8217;s recordings are phenomenal (and he produces a lot of them), but this is an artist that cannot be fully appreciated until you hear and see it live.<\/p>\n<div class=\"spacer\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"center\">\n<p class=\"audioplayer_container\"><span style=\"display:block;padding:5px;border:1px solid #dddddd;background:#f8f8f8\" id=\"audioplayer_1\">Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip.
