Forbes, Young, and Gonzalez Trio | Lil' Tedley/Unconscious Collective (Secret Headquarters)
This is a better show than you would expect see on a Thursday. I guess the two SHQ shows are on Thursday and Friday this week, since they're understandably closed for Fry St. Fair. The Forbes, Young, and Gonzalez trio and The Unconscious Collective feature some of the most talent you'll ever witness live, and both groups boast lineups that are pretty much the perfect mix of ability
and taste. The Forbes, Young and Gonzalez Trio are more improvisational and closer to free jazz than the Unconscious Collective, who tend to attack with the intensity and bombast of the best moments of prog-rock, however there still tends to be some improvisation. I'm not familiar with Lil' Tedley and couldn't find a link, but they are probably the standout since I've heard they're more straight-ahead punk rock. This show is proof that so-called "real musicians" don't have to spend a lifetime playing cheesy shit. Take notes.
80's Night With DJ G (Hailey's) The Intonations | David Trust | The Grass Fight (J and J's Pizza)
The Intonations sound like they take a lot of pop songwriting influence from
New Order and
Superchunk, with
Reid Brothers-styled distortion sprayed all over it. The Grass Fight take a step backwards from there with some unabashed
Joy Division style-biting. David Trust surprised me with some pretty interesting, darkly dramatic songs and singing on his page, but who knows if he'll pull the usual solo set with no backing band that many singer-songwriters subject you to. He's got a pretty cool, extremely low voice that reminds me of
Calvin Johnson and
Nick Cave. Pretty impressive artists to be compared to, but I'll need to see this live to really decide.
