The Hussies performed with their usual flair and style, despite an audience that was essentially non-existent — an unfortunate turn of events, considering that this group performs with unmistakable energy at all times. Their obligatory Spice Girls cover wasn’t met with screams of excitement, just some tepid clapping from the few gathered. Still, the situation didn’t stop The Gorgeous Hussies from putting on a good show, and there can be no mistaking that it wasn’t in the best of circumstances.

The group’s latest tracks — from an album set to be released in January, 2009 — are a nice example of the progression of The Gorgeous Hussies. They field a power pop style with ease, hitting all the right chords and melodies to produce some listenable songs. There’s no shame in enjoying this band when the only people in the coffee house work there or know the band, and the innate friendliness of all involved is a refreshing sight among abashed artists providing only more of the same.
