The Lemon Twigs (4AD) played the Casbah last night and it was one hell of a show.
It felt like being transported sonically back to 1973 (or some year around that). The D’Addario brothers came out melodies a blazing and they did not disappoint one bit. The first half of the show consisted of Brian fronting the band and it was some sort of juxtaposing at some point almost 3 different bands from the early 70’s AND still managing to sound original and most importantly genuine in this era of fake sounding bands.
Then the transition from guitar to drums and drums to guitar occurred and after the brothers switched places the show took a slight turn, the volume became a little bit louder and the glam rock started pouring out of the speakers.
Now, I will refrain from using the comparisons as to whom they sounded like because that wouldn’t be fair to anyone, not the band’s mentioned and surely not the Lemon Twigs. What I can say is that you could feel and witness the energy that was being poured from every band member, and remember they still have a few albums to go and grow their sound.
Here’s to hoping they do a round 2 on their tour and come back to San Diego. They’ll be playing some of the major festivals around like Coachella and Fuji Rock and we’re pretty sure that with their upcoming tour in the UK big things will be in their near future.
Paul Tomas Anderson’s new film started shooting recently with Daniel Day Lewis slated to star in the auteur film. Now, typically that would be news enough to get any film lover excited, but, into that mix you add Jonny Greenwood and all of a sudden you have (certain) Radiohead fans and film score enthusiasts doubly excited. The reason being that Jonny Greenwood’s film scores for PTA’s films “There Will Be Blood”, “The Master” and “Inherent Vice” are just spellbinding, mesmerizing and beautiful. The music works well on their own and they just add a new layer and another character to a movie that is already filled with some of the most memorable characters that have ever graced the screen.
For anyone who calls themselves a fan of cinema or a fan of film scores…I seem to lack the words to express the excitement that these news bring to my eyes and ears. After receiving Radiohead’s “A Moon Shaped Pool” just one year ago and now knowing that there will be more music form one our generations musical geniuses is just amazing. This might sound like a kiss up to both of these artists, but in reality is just being in awe of their artistry, each one in their respective field and is an amazing pairing that I honestly hope does not end after this film.
Their previous collaborations have been multiple videos for Radiohead’s latest release, the documentary “Junjun”, the aforementioned scores for PTA’s films, to name a few. Below is a short video of the London Contemporary Orchestra rehearsing one of the greatest scores of all time…
Last night, 1/30/2017, Run The Jewels played an explosive and energetic set at the North Park Observatory. Killer Mike and El-P sounded alive, loud, warm and eloquent as fuck as they traded verses, jumped around and pleaded togetherness in our community and to be kind to one another.
Was this show amazing? Yes! Being able to witness RTJ live is a true wonder. However, going to show to the Observatory is becoming a drag every time. The reason for this is because the audio in the venue is horrible. Now either its the audio system itself or the audio engineer or something is causing this. The music from RTJ’s dj sounded like it was muffled and it was coming out sounding hollow and horribly equalized. Towards the end of the show it kind of almost sort of started sounding better, as in not as horrible as before but still not as good as the band deserves. And that is what is infuriating to us as paying fans and them as a band.
But back RTJ’s show. They ran through most of their new album, RTJ3, and touched lightly on their previous 2 LP’s as well as their DJ Shadow collaboration ‘Nobody Speak’. They aptly ended their show with the massive cuts ‘Kill Your Masters’ –> ‘Close Your Eyes (and Count To Fuck)’.
