Oxbow's Eugene Robinson chokes rowdy concertgoers

While Robinson seems unlikely to slow down anytime soon, there was something a bit different about Oxbow's most recent show at Great American Music Hall opening for Jesu in November. The sound was definitely Oxbow, and the music was played with a distinct level of sophistication and class. Yet while Robinson took off his jacket and shirt, he remained otherwise clothed throughout the set.

Could it be that Robinson was taking this selling-out approach seriously? Was San Francisco's most dangerous singer mellowing out or feeling self-conscious?

Oxbow is (left to right) Dan Adams, Eugene Robinson, Greg Davis, and Niko Wenner.
