Live Reviews

Hartford Advocate Music Section 12/26/02... Ron Neuhauser, the guitarist for Styrocultural Antidote, doesn't speak much while on stage. Instead, he lets his guitar speak for him. And it speaks in a variety of voices, from the syncopated jargon of funk to the fiery language of a blistering solo and even in the almost regal tones of a twisted waltz. It's a highly evolved version of non-verbal communication that was not lost on the crowd. In fact, the band, which is also composed of bassist Mike Perez and drummer Fran Marante lets the music speak for them. There are no vocals. Instead, the band plays and lets the music communicate their message, which is one of pure musical bliss.
