Black and Gass have the kind of chemistry on stage which would be totally sexy if it were between two hot cheerleaders. The bond between these two men is obvious and, on some level, very touching. Playing items from their entire back catalogue, “Jables” and “Rage Kage” bring a show which is utterly compelling.
