Hirsute Heroes
ZZ Top
It bills itself simply as that "Little Ol' Band from Texas," but considering that its pedigree stretches back some 35 years, ZZ Top might be the best-known power trio since Cream. The band's videos pass off a slapstick image -- two front men boasting huge amounts of facial hair, wide-eyed ogling and guitars swinging, plus the added irony of having the one clean-shaven member actually named Frank Beard -- but it's the music that has indelibly etched the Top's identity. It's a sound dredged from the Mississippi Delta, revved up and retooled into a high-octane blend of driving blues, blistering boogie, and Texas bluster. This rare foray into our part of the world provides an opportunity to witness a show that's visceral and visual. Given their ability to trot out a considerable back catalog of hits ("Tush," "Cheap Sunglasses," "Sharp-Dressed Man," et. al), these Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame inductees have more than "Legs" to stand on.
ZZ Top performs at 8 p.m. Tuesday, October 18, at the Hard Rock Live Arena, 1 Seminole Way, Hollywood. (Show also features a 50th birthday bash for "Young Ron" of Big 105.9's morning team Paul Castronovo and "Young" Ron Brewer.) Tickets cost $35, $45, and $55. Call 954-797-5531.
