Pants ½ Off is neither half full or half empty. It also is not your discounted jeans but a nice pair of slacks you clumsily slip on as you wake up to the sun just peeking over the Blue Hills in Rusk County WI. Playing folk music entangled in modern melodies and sometimes psychedelic jams, Pants ½ Off brings emotion to the songs that are inspired by their geography. Although the band name might be a play on words, the band adds a serious tone to their songs that originate from the soul.
The band consists of 5 folks, each of who has their own "private practice" in the singer/songwriter industry. That's fancy speak for when Pants 1/2 Off aren't performing go and check out Chad Kostner, Kayla Zoltak, Seth Gamble, Julie Kittleson, and Jason Chaffee in their respective solo projects or playing around town in other ensembles.
**************************
Tapers notes: To say this night was a disappointment would be an understatement. Sound issues were present basically from the start of the night. During The Vonkillinger Band set it wasn't too bad, a few flaws here and there, but during Pants Half Off set it started to worsen. Popping, feedback, etc. pops up pretty frequently during their set. By the time Feeding Leroy's set came around, I wasn't too hopeful. Unfortunately, I was right to feel that way, there were major sound issues throughout, and one point they stopped the set for 5-10 minutes to try to figure it out, to no success. After track 7, the band unplugged completely and performed the rest of the set that way. Which would have been a neat experience except for the fact I had tried to get the best seat for taping, which made it almost unlistenbable once they stopped using the PA. I have not included their set as it's very inconsistent sounding and IMO not worth sharing.
