The first band of the evening was Moombatrap. I knew nothing of them, but I was throughly impressed. The band consisted of two ladies that sat on the floor and seriously rocked out. The one girl played quasi-heavy metal riffs on an acoustic guitar while the other girl played crazy jazzbo drumming on a bongo drum (and in one song a snare drum on the floor). They were amazing!
Next up was Mongoose. I’ve seen these guys a couple times before, and I think they are my favorite band. Their jams kind of sound like the soundtrack to some oldschool Nintendo game with crazy disco-beats. Anyhow apparently while I was in America they released a new album, so most of the jams they played were new. Holy crap are the new jams awesome. If you have the means to do so, check out Mongoose’s new album, “Dancing Zoo.”
The final band of the evening was 3rd Line Butterfly. They kind of had a shoegazing indie rock thing going on. The thing that impressed me the most about this band was the singer’s shoes. She had some incredibly high high heels on, and was somehow able to still work effects pedals, jump, dance, and rock out. Oh and she was super hot. Their guitar player on the other hand was not super hot. He was chunky, looked to be in his mid-30s, and had a crustache. He rocked out pretty hard though.
Anyhow the show was pretty dope ass. There are more pictures to be seen here.
