UH BONES// MOONWALKS// FAKE SURFERS @ Painted Lady 4/10
UH BONES- They are steeped in the traditions of 60s rock n roll, there is no doubt. But they are well aware of the fact that we live in a post-Velvets era, and that you can't get use the same old playbook and expect anyone to care. So they have kept their sound fresh first by carefully calibrating the tone on everything from the guitar to the bass to the perfectly fuzzed vocals, and by having well-written, catchy, pop-minded songs which, while sounding familiar, really are like nothing you have ever heard before. And their execution is excellent. They've got a killer rhythm section, with their bassist and drummer keeping the band tightly in the pocket, great fuzzed-out vocal harmonies throughout, and an organ that manages to play just as little as is necessary that adds just a thin layer of awesome to their songs.
Uh, Chicago, your secret is out. Uh Bones are, uhhh, fucking awesome.
Careening in with a trembling bass that pulsates, not even fifteen seconds in and your swaying to the beat while hazy vocals subdue the senses creating an euphoric daze. Deep and fuzzy with palpitating beats, "Black Shadow" features mod-inspired echoic reverb reminiscent of the Golden '60s in a manner that still mixes in the heavy hitters of today. Straddling the divide between past and present envision Flamin' Groovies, Quicksilver Messenger Service, the Sonics, and Captain Beefheart meeting the Cosmonauts and Gap Dream on the corner of Haight and Ashbury and deciding to call up their pals in the Strange Boys' and Dead Ghosts for some of their twang; then they see John Dwyer passin' by and he contributes some of that mellow OCS beauty. Just imagine, all these sounds floating around in our fictive world and mixing togetherthat's Uh Bones. - L. Parisi
Moonwalks' indie siberian psychedelic space rock will leave you seeing stars.
Fake Surfers- "Two piece vocalist/guitar/drums combo from Detroit who play garage rock just how I like itsloppy and catchy" -Razorcake
