[San Diego] The doorman acted like it
pained him to look at my ID, let alone look at me. The bar staff ignored me for
ten minutes, even though the place was practically empty. The band was delayed
because the sound was screwed up and water was leaking on them. Even if their
faces had that this-venue-is-going-to-ruin-our-SXSW-set look on their faces,
they remained polite. And once they started, it was as if they had ran on stage
to a clapping audience of 1000. (It was an audience of about 10, and most of
them were looking into their beers instead of at the band.) They’re a guy on
bass, a guy on guitar singing, and a girl on drums. The guy on guitar flails
around ‘schizophrenically’ – it’s a little silly but you’ve gotta to do what
you’ve gotta to do. They’re loud bluesy rock. I liked them, as people really,
and think they’re a cute little band with a lot of heart. Jackalope had good
bands slotted for the entire day which I vetoed because of their shitty
attitudes – take that Jackalope. (Photo courtesy of
