Local Review: Two and a Half White Guys – Self-Titled

Two and a Half White Guys
Self-titled

Gringos Productions

Two and a Half White Guys = The Good, The Bad and The Ugly soundtrack + Aquabats + Bob Marley

 

Jazz-inflected ska calypso reggae jam bands aren’t really my thing, but Two and a Half White Guys are good at what they do, and they probably sound better if you’re high and in a grassy field at a huge stadium. They have a unique mixture going on, and are at their best when they stick to slow burners like “This is the Last Time” and not party-down numbers, as in “Shot Down” and “The Thing.” The Spanish-inflected “El Baile del Sluggo Loco” is one of the more bearable tracks.
