Das Kapital | Decibel Dudes | Koji Kondo | Black Wizardz | Kaboom
(J & J's Pizza)
It seems this show is centered around this touring band from Chicago, Das Kapital, but the local bands are actually where it's at. I'm not a big fan of this upbeat, melodic Replacements-influenced style of punk that Das Kapital plays. Few have the song-writing chops to pull it off well, and most just play into this kind of sneering cutesiness. Their home page says the guitarist/vocalist was in the far superior Traitors. I've never heard Decibel Dudes and I liked the scratchy, beat driven samples on their page. Black Wizardz is somewhat traditional rock and roll layered endlessly with distortion and the impressive double task of a singer/drummer. Kaboom puts on a very animated live show with a heavy 90's underground sound influenced by The Jesus Lizard and Arab On Radar. Koji Kondo you've heard us talk about before but I heard from some anonymous comment that they're just a "punk band." If more so-called punk was like that, the world would be a much more tolerable place.

drink and draw sounds retarded.

i got yer authuntisity right ere' in mah drawls!

whooo!

black wizardz set was sloppier than usual due to technical malfunctions...i know...for i was there... drumming.

denton made it beautifully, and the show at 8th continent was awesome. kyle and jonah do a great job with that lil place.

Short story=me yelling pants means "I like your band."

I don't want to get into a big discussion about it, but what is not authentic about our music?

by the way, Denton still alive out there?

Arab on Radar = chewing on tin

in a good way.
