They have a solid British influenced rock sound, with even mixed in a few power ballads that the crowd found in awe. With a stage set with full on strobes and light show, the crowd was on their feet, ready to dance. The band consists of 3 brothers: “SHADE” lead vocals, “KEY” (keyboards, Piano, Synthesizers) and Nathan Samuel Philip (Drums) (while Jesse on bass as a touring member) which might be why this band’s chemistry is so tight. They have honed in on their skills and they do it well. My first impression when they took the stage wasn’t really that far off as the Menew fanclub is called “The Mobsters.” In the vein of Coldplay or Muse mixed in with even a little David Bowie, it was easy for the crowd to fall in love with this band from the start. With the bassist, Jesse ‘Wilfur’ Filice’s 1950’s style big hair and vocalist, SHADE’s hat, I was imagining Al Capone sitting in the front row and his 1928 Cadilac outside. Preceding Filter was The Canadian band, Menew. And if being a Filter Roadie for a day sounds just up your alley, check out the special VIP/Roadie packages for this tour on the Filter website. Meanwhile, be sure to catch them out on the road this summer: Tour Dates listed below. Back in April of 2012, Filter entered the studio with producer Bob Marlette to work on their sixth studio album, titled “Gurney and the Burning Books,” due for release in mid-2012. They really put on a show that will have you on your feet, dancing and your fist in the air! Yes, they played those great radio hits that we love, but they also played a nice blend of new and older songs, showcasing a little heavier rockin side of the band. “Hey Man, Nice Shot!” for the Oneonta Theater as they pulled in one killer tour of Filter and Menew to Oneonta NY! With the unique voice of Richard Patrick, I was ready to “Take A Picture” when Filter took the stage! All song references aside – Filter is so much more than those hits on the radio.
