Take away the foam-covered walls and you’d never know it was only practice to watch Death of the Peanut King play in one of the rehearsal rooms at Nuçi’s Space. The group, made up of Gedia Powell, Jacob Samuelson and Sean VanMeter, is preparing to go into the studio to record their rock opera, “Death of the Peanut King,” to be performed tonight during a showcase at the Melting Point.
Although the Melting Point show is the official debut of their band, they’ve already played two shows, and they look and sound like pros. In the practice room, the group is tearing it up: Gedia is belting vocals, Jacob is wailing on his guitar and Sean is banging it out on the keys and practicing his hype skills. He points at the people standing around the room with a look that says, ” ‘You there, rocking out? Keep doing that! Meanwhile, I’m going to blow your mind with this jamming solo.’ “
