Show Review- Mad Sin

This is a show review for Mad Sin in Chicago on the 4th of May. First, the other bands that played were the Nuke Mutes, the Gravetones and the Boneyard Brawlers. Having seen all these bands before the only one I wanted to subject myself to again was Boneyard Brawlers so I stayed outside in the bar area of the Bottom Lounge and talked with friends until the Boneyard Brawlers went on. As usual, they kicked ass! It still amazes me that the drummer is also the singer. That takes talent. I was somewhat sad to see that they have a different bass player from the last time though. He is a great bass player but does not compare to their original bassist.
Finally it was time for Mad Sin (German Psychobilly) to play. Well we had a huge disappointment when it turned out that their singer had been hospitalized and would not be at the show. We were concerned and saddened because this meant that they could only do a handful of songs without him, and besides Koefte (the singer) literally adds a huge presence to the show. They still rocked it out and performed great. Wow what amazing musicians. The bass player blew me away and his voice was also way above average. I was happy to see that the crowd still got into it and there was a fair amount of wrecking going on.
After the show we talked briefly with the drummer who assured us that Koefte's condition was not life threatening but he would have to remain in the hospital at least one more night.
It was a great show but I feel like I didn't get to see the "real" Mad Sin so I'll definitely be looking out for them to play in this area again.
