[Everett,
WA] This was the second band I saw on this stage and it became clear the venue’s
sound just wasn’t right. Nonetheless, this first quite decent band was three
guys with all sorts of guitars and keyboards. Electro rock, soul rock, soul
electronica – dense, pretty, big. They reminded me of NoCeremony but not as
glorious. I picked them based on the pretty lead singer’s great voice but that
ended up not being their standout feature. They weren’t one dimensional
(although not a fat mess of diversity like the last band). Upbeat without being
cheesy. They’re the music that would accompany you as you ran through a city –
because you had something to do – not because you were being chased. Also a bit
of disco rock like Bright Light Social Happy Hour - but more dangerous. I
started this band in a fairly bitter mood & so was doing a little bit of
work in the back of the club – turns out it was the part of the club where
people do their drugs - drug use is generally more public in Seattle – maybe
because pot was just legalized … although I saw a guy shoot up in public during
the broad daylight a few days later.
