Here’s part of what you should check out in 2018…
Vic and the Narwhals… I’m a fan… Roka played with them about six months ago and I saw them playing with Don Chicharron last weekend. I dunno how these cats describe themselves but I’d say something along the lines of: Latin-fusion-psychedelic… Whatever your description: these cats are fun… They’re playing on January 18th at Lost Lake…
And then there’s Don Chicharron… Another fav… This cats drop the Peruvian Chicha on ya… For those who aren’t familiar: chicha = psychedelic cumbia. C’mon… You already know that shit just sounds tight… These cats played with Vic and the Narwhals at Hi-Dive…
Also! Saved by Aliens. Yo, if you’re into bass/drum duo… These cats. If you’re reading this blog you may be familiar with my own music, style, abilities, etc… …yeah, this cat made me wanna go home and practice. …in an inspired way. Good shit, yo… Kid dominates the looper pedal.
Also recently checked out Me Me Monster… I had heard them from a distance while walking the Denver [Santa Fe] Art Walk last summer but by the time I got to the spot where they were performing they’d were calling it quits. Still, I made a mental note to check them out and I wasn’t disappointed. It’s a rock trio: bass, drums, guitar… Charismatic drummer/singer.. These cats got tricks, yo… Solid musicians, dress the part, and they take you away for a minute… They funny… The bassist wears a monkey mask and plays a sweet Fender Jaguar bass…
