A Great Disturbance and Ghost Foot at O’Leaver’s

photos and words by Molly Misek

“We’re a bunch of old nerds.”

And so the members of A Great Disturbance began their set at O’Leaver’s on Friday, a fully instrumental showcase heavily paying homage to Star Wars and its sci-fi counterparts. Fittingly, the band’s name is taken from an Obi-Wan Kenobi quote — “I felt a great disturbance in the Force” — and its Facebook photo is a sleek disco ball-Death Star combo. Throwing in the occasional Han Solo joke or playing songs like “Let the Wookie Win,” the dudes of A Great Disturbance successfully fused their passions into a creative end product.

Joining them was Ghost Foot, a rock trio from Shreveport, Louisiana with long hair and riffs equally suited for a house show or a road trip. Frontman Jacob Disedare commanded the stage with a boisterous sort of serenity. “And they say, oh, it’s good to be back,” he crooned in the band’s newest release, “Reaper,” following up with a jarring line: “Slide the noose and cut me slack.” The Southern influence is distinct in Ghost Foot’s music, providing for dynamic lyrics and an entertaining sound.
