there is nothing more to say

Here in Seattle every band or artist seems to play. And different from Sacramento, I don’t have to drive an hour and half to San Francisco to see them, I can walk down the street or drive five minutes to the show. Last week we saw Ted Leo, Rocky Votolato, and Junior Boys in 5 days. And this week there is Soulwax, The Walkmen, and Minus the Bear.

Last night was Soulwax. The opening guy sucked really badly. Think 1993 rave, as the guy was shouting out “peace love and ecstasy.” Yes, he was that lame. Then there was a 45 minute wait before Soulwax went on and by then it was 12:30. I was trying not to fall asleep while waiting for them to play. And finally they appeared in white collared shirts and accents, ready to play.

The show was a little electro and a little glitchy but half way through, they saved the day. Soulwax mixed their Another Excuse with Kanos- Another Life. Kano’s – Another Life might just be on my top ten songs of all time list and so as I was starting to get lost and dose off in all the sirens and noisy sounds, I awoke to the sound of Kano and was revived.

With that said the show was automatically made awesome. Not to discredit Soulwax, they did sound amazing and mix a ton of great tracks with their music and they did it all live…but it’s Kano. And that’s all there is to say.
