Professional high-energy dash-down rock and roll about as exciting as anything this city has seen in a long time...

Having seen it, I can say their act is spirited but classy; and they're so damn good musically, they don't need gimmicks.

Showy delivery coupled with rapid-fire humor. Flashy costuming and plenty of on-stage action. Five-star entertainment--youse can tell 'em The Saint sent ya.
