Stormy Mondays | Benevento Russo Duo & Bustle Friends 2004
By Scott Bernstein Oct 13, 2014 • 10:45 am PDT


Over the summer we ran a set from The Slip, and now it’s time to give a listen to The Duo from the same era. In 2004, Marco and Joe opened for the Rhode Island trio in Northampton on October 30. While the show starts out with an always edgy “Becky,” it quickly moves into passages of thick, not-quite-ambient beauty with “Vortex,” “Love Song” and “9 X 9.” For an extra special treat to close, The Duo welcome not Brad Barr for “Mephisto” (which would have made sense), but Scott Metzger and Dave Dreiwitz for a mini-Bustle: “The Song Remains the Same” and a tight “Heartbreaker.” As always, enjoy!
