BAEBLE CONCERTS: The Whip at McCarren Park

Please don't let keyboardist/guitarist/general tweaker Danny Saville fool you...When his crew of electro rocking comrades, The Whip, took the stage, it was blazing. How he pulled that "clouted, man of mystery" look in 90 degree heat, we'll never know. The rest of us with the good fortune of witnessing the pulsating piece of sonic delight he and band mates Bruce Carter, Nathan Sudders, and Lil Fee were busy "whipping" up were doing so with bulky beads of sweat stinging the eyes. And all the moovin' and groovin'didn't do us any favors either. Of course, that is kind of what a Sunday afternoon at the McCarren Park Pool is all about. It's hot, but the bands are hotter. - david pitz
