<blockquote>The Nocturnals are a road-hungry, full-force, four-alarm, head-bobbing rock band, as evidenced by the remainder of the set. “If I Was From Paris,” “Ah Mary” and “Mastermind” followed and are perhaps better representations of what this band is truly about; rock n’ roll in its blues-heavy, red-blooded American splendor, with songs about sex, deception, drinking and love, delivered with a striking authenticity and Potter’s honest, sweat-drenched, soulful vocals. “Nothing But The Water” was well-placed at the end of the set, its gospel strains echoing off the Tabernacle’s stained glass windows, before “Sweet Hands” closed the show to make way for the also-surging Dennen. This is legitimate, bona-fide truth music. Its strength is that of its rawness and simplicity, wrapped in Potter’s energy and might, of which she possesses plenty.</blockquote>
