About AMPLIFY THIS/Chuck Folds 5 2nite @ Club Triangle!
A three piece band that makes a lot of noise; and yes, Chuck plays the hell out of the bass and is the brother of Ben Folds, and yes, he is making a bit of a stab at himself for being the lesser talented younger brother of a critically acclaimed, platinum selling, world touring singer/songwriter/musician. And no, he does't mind you asking him about it. Steve Williard is a former member of To The Nines and also plays guitar and sings with Chuck in another band called Rubberband. And no, he is not related to Ben Folds. Tim Poole, well...who hasn't Tim played with...most recently Suckerpunch and the Situationals. Tim is also not related to Ben. He did however share a popcorn with Robert Sledge once.
A fun, energetic, professional, high-output power trio who is intent on making you pay attention to them while they are on stage. A bar band with a private party sensibility, and an original take on a variety of music ranging from classic rock to hip-hop to country AND western. If you only have a guitar, bass, drums, and a few male voices you have to approach performing most songs in a unique way.
So there it is, take it or leave it, love 'em or hate 'em..., Love em'. However, don't count this bundle of entertainment out until you let yourself be subjected to their brand of entertainment and music.
i love your band so much chuck, i always come once in awhile to check on you guys, how has everything been? i would love to travel out to NC one time and sit in jam with you guys at a gig!
AFter a whille when you play anything other then THE AMPLIFY this songs , it is not going to feel right anymore cause the bands original stuff is that good. Think on those things! rock on RObv3
