Eric Holder & The Senate Judiciary Committee

The band is BACK!   Eric Holder & The Senate Judiciary Committee put on an amazing performance yesterday at The Capitol Room.  Known traditionally as a texas two-step band, this performance added another element to the group...Jazz!  The group played their chart topping hits: Elitest DecordumOut of Touch with Americans, The Constitution Is Just An Old Piece Of Paper and That Wasn't The Question You Asked.  Though, after a short break in the set, the band played songs off its newly released jazz album Disdainees, which received a rousing response from the audicence and press.

Eric Holder's solo in Mirandize on the Battlefield combines not only rhetoic but a message of uncertainty.  It is a moving piece on hope and resiliency.  The song was followed, by an upbeat song entitled It isn't me, it is the Office of Management & Budget People which included an interesting self promotion from drummer, Chuck Schumer.  There are many other highlights and low points, actually more low points than can be mentioned.  It is a must see show!
