(Blue Jungle)
So i went to see Ale Mania but apparently CityBeat got the bill wrong..SHockeR
Hey guys here's a tip-- if this is your Plan A on the friday night of Comic-Con weekend maybe you should get the lineup correct. Dicks. I had heard that XYX,coming up from mexico, was quite good so i wasn't too concerned
Please pardon the occasional PSA: Don't forget to grab a hard copy of CityBeat and support our advertisers. Now return to normal tweeting.3:14 PM Jul 10th from web
read-NO ONE is picking up any copies of our shit because it offers
absolutely NOTHING that isn't on the Internet!!
Braaains-Utter shite 4 piece'punk'band with some bald dude shreiking out some of the WORST VOCALS I've heard in a long long time. at the end of their set one the dudes attempted to smash the mic....woo...hoo
Spirit Hotography- i had heard these dudes were 'annoying' but i had an open mind going into their set. 3 piece band:2 electric guitars, bass and a 'drum machine' thing.they played a brief set which consisted of droney guitar jams over rudimentary electronic percussion. no vocals...sounded ok. kind of like watching a band jam on stuff before they actually form songs..
Blue Jungle- solid LA band.jangly garage type with sultry female vox. the bro on guitar was solid as well. churning out lead guit lines awash in echo/reverb. the 'hawtie' lead singer seemed quite fond of her tambourine. playing it with mad 'emotion'
XYX- 2 piece:girl bass/vox and drummr boy. the first couple tracks were quite solid. driving crunchy bass lines with tight drumming that was somehow both smooth and choppy at the same time. nice! the yippy delay soaked vocals were a nice touch as well. unfortunately the bass head kept giving out and after a couple attempts to tape it back together the show was a bust. damn cheap mexican drum sets. oh well. i would definitely check them out again
good times. even with the power failure in between sets and the tech probs with XYX. never a dull moment. BRAAIINS SUX!! wow.
daily recommended show for 7/28 Whistlestop:smoke a phat 1 and go to FriendsChill
Ale Mania cancelled. So sorry if I upset you. Cry me a fucking river, sheesh.
ReplyDeleteSo, I'm writing an article on the state of San Diego music for our crappy little rag and would love to get your thoughts. You seem to have a lot to say on the subject and I like what you're doing so just thought I'd ask.
If so, let me know ASAP at sethc@sdcitybeat.com. If not, que sera.
