Manic Munich sextet Sorgente took over the Viper Room stage at...tennish (hey, we did mention the walk from Cravings earlier?) and immediately had the capacity Viper Room crowd bobbin' and boppin' to their funky grooves and smoother moves. I ran into the guys at the Cat Club after last night's showcases, where they'd apparently performed a "stealth set" in addition to tonight's gig; I found 'em to be quite personable and earlier this afternoon enjoyed listening to the six-song EP they gave me at the time. Their tune "Alive" provoked a strong response from the audience, and then they delved into a number that sounded not too unlike, dare I say, Prince (but without all that emphasis on purple...what's up with that, anyway?), delivering the grooves that can't help but make your booty move. Are these guys really from Munich, or some Borat-style impostors from Motown? Who knows for sure...but judging by the inadvertant "Wow!" we heard just as their last number concluded, does it really matter? They ended up closing their set with an honest-to-God drum solo that had the audience cheering, stomping and howling for more.
