The Makeshift Champions, a group of high school kids, put on a great show at the Spectrum Gallery on Sunday. They did several originals, including harmonies and tempo changes which were impressive indeed, and a few cover tunes. At times it was the whole band (2 guitars, drums, and two vocalists) and at other times it was smaller configurations, such as just two guitars, a guitar and one vocalist, etc.... Pretty mature variety for such young kids. They were nervous, and young, and cute... putting themselves out there to do something scary-fun. This is what I love about the Rogue; people taking risks to try participating in a performance. Check them out at their last show, Wednesday at 6pm.
