Concert Review: deSol


You have to respect any hard-working road band, but more respect altogether goes to a road band that never seems to stop having fun at the same time.

deSol is most certainly one of those bands.

The New Jersey band Latin rockers have barely left the road since they were last in Portland for KINK Live Ten way back in September, but the word tired just doesn’t seem to be in their vocabulary.

The band seemed a little out of place on the Dante’s stage, sandwiched between two harder rock bands, but they certainly had the sparse attendance on their feet early and often during a solid 45 minute set.

It seemed like most of the few in attendance were there to see them, and even those who weren’t could help but clap along during the latest single “On My Way”.

The gang of 6, including a couple new members since we saw them last, were all smiles from start to finish and, as always, brought the party atmosphere they are known for.

And with that they were off, into the night on what seems like a never ending ride.
