Review Text
'No two New Limb shows are quite the same-as they illustrated with their five Detroit Bar-residency shows this past June. They bring this joie de vivre no matter the venue, whether they're busking for puzzled passersby at the OC Super Fair or at a packed House of Blues.' - OC Weekly, Best of OC 2009 Issue 'The New Limb is both devoid of pretense and brimming with talent, enthusiasm and a wonderful, genuine energy. A no miss!' - Dave Mau, chef and host of Dinner with Dave, Memphis at the Santora 'It's no surprise The New Limb received a Best Live Band nod at the OC Music Awards. Joey Chavez's thoughtful lyrics and soothing croon are only occasionally upstaged by keyboardist Lauren Salamone's ivory tickles.' - Riviera Magazine "The New Limb's melodic rock ballads show ingenious musicianship and a passion that streams consistently throughout it's live sets...we're predicting The New Limb will pack houses nationwide and beyond." - WHERE OC Magazine 'They were at ease with their music and the audience, playing highly melodic indie rock marked by unexpected twists. Lead singer/rhythm guitarist Joey Chavez has a warm, reedy voice that works as both a whisper and a controlled scream. With keyboardist Lauren Salamone, drummer Adam Chavez and lead guitarist Danilo Perez lending their respective voices, the choruses became rich, endearing swells. On record, the band's songs simmer but never really boil over. Not the case live--at least not last night. Maniacally alternating between striking rock god poses and messing with his effects pedal board like a mad scientist, Perez soloed with assured precision, firing off richly distorted notes that shot through the room like starbursts.' - Wade Tatangelo, Music Editor, OC Weekly 'They've got the entire package - talent, personality, friendliness, good looks and omnious vocals that fall perfectly into place. Whether it's talking about zombie-takeovers or baking cookies for fans, you're sure to be entertained in many ways.' - OC Music Awards 'How this foursome lives together and plays music together, boggles my mind. One thing is for sure, when they unite, there are fireworks. If only you could have a band be president, then I would vote for The New Limb. They are true musicians with serious talent, real character, heart and drive.' - Ashley Eliot, Host/DJ, KUCI 88.9 FM's Press Pass Music show.
