When the Frogs’ lead singer Jimmy Flemion took the stage at the Maintenance Shop, he looked like the biblical nephilim (giants). One look at the band inspired a reaction in the audience, which was one part confusion, another large part excitement.

Opening its set with “Adam and Steve,” the band began to pound out rhythms with precision.

Effortlessly, the band rolled through the song and maintained a conversation with members of the audience.

Soon after, problems rose with the monitor levels. Jimmy couldn’t hear anything coming out of his monitor, which spurred brother and drummer Dennis Flemion to shove his monitor toward his brother, along with a few choice comments.

Throughout the show, the tension between Dennis and Jimmy Flemion proved to be much more entertaining than they may have planned. Banter between songs filled the gaps and allowed for their humorous stage act to take form.

The band also showed that it wasn’t disconnected from the crowd.

When a heckler yelled for more guitar in the monitor, Jimmy Flemion invited the person on stage to sit between the two monitors aimed at Flemion.

The man later proved to be a target for a lot of the band’s jokes.

Crowd participation didn’t stop there. Jimmy also had the crowd help out on “I’ve Got Drugs” and “Homos” from the album “It’s Only Right and Natural.”

The Flemion brothers backed up their outlandish appearance with an equally odd sound, but bassist Beezer drove it home. Dressed in what looked like the Blues Brothers meets the church outfit, the silent member of the band drove the show home with his creative bass lines and partial solos.

Opening the show was Poison Control Center, Ames’ newest contender for most people in a band.

The band managed to excite the audience with its fiery power pop, but its act was a bit forced at times.
