So the Dirty Guv'nahs from Knoxville, TN decided to come to New York and play a show. The results? A southern rock dance party in the middle of Manhattan. It was funny seeing these guys will the crowd into the show. Typically a New York crowd is very chill and almost too cool to dance. That's what the show started out like, but the Dirty Guv'nahs weren't going to have that. At one point early in the set, the lead singer James Trimble yelled something along the lines of "You better appreciate this right now! We'll be playing Madison Square Garden soon enough!" It's hard to win over a NY crowd, but the fearlessness that the Guv'nahs showed quickly won over the crowd. It was truly one of the few times that I have seen a NY crowd dance and drunkenly holler throughout the show. Near the end of the set, it was apparent in the vibe from the crowd that they didn't want the show to end. One thing was clear by the end of the show.. The Dirty Guv'nahs are a force to be reckoned with and if they keep it up, they just might be playing in Madison Square Garden one day. Check out the setlist after the jump.
