 I had the privilege of seeing these lovely ladies play on Wednesday at the Hub in Sacramento and I will be seeing them again in Pomona on Sunday (Happy Birthday Gabe!).


If you don't already know, Wild Flag is Mary Timony of Helium, Carrie Brownstein and Janet Weiss of Sleater-Kinney, and Rebecca Cole of the Minders.


I'm not going to critique them much since I know they haven't played in front of a live audience until now. I will say the chemistry is great and I loved the tunes. The songs are what I had hoped for, some very Timony-esque numbers, some very Brownstein-esque creations and a few that had a beautiful blend of both worlds.

Continued...


The show in Pomona on 11/21/10 had a ton of energy, albeit lots of sound issues. Mary was much more animated for this set than the Sacto show. Aladdin Jr. reminded me of Luigi's, but with better acoustics. The highlight of the evening was the extended psychedelic version of Glass Tambourine. I wish we had recorded it. 

The Pomona crowd was able to lure the ladies into an encore, which is something the Hub attendees need to work on. The encore set consisted of a Velvet Underground and a Patti Smith cover.  

  I was able to catch Mary after the show and get permission to post a couple of the songs Gabe recorded from the show on 11/17/10.


Enjoy!

KDVS Presents ORMF X 10/2/10 at Plainfield Station Woodland, CA

It's been a little more than a week since ORMF ended. I've been waiting to post because I wanted to see if anyone else posted pictures for the bands I was unable to shoot due to a malfunction with my camera's SD card. I haven't had any luck. I guess something is better than nothing. I was only able to get the first 5 bands that played.

The amazing line up:

Aids Wolf
Big Black Cloud
Mattress
Greg Ashley
Wounded Lion
Ganglians
Super Wild Horses
Dreamdate
Young Prisms
Buk Buk Big Ups
Psychic Reality
Random Abiladeze
Didimao

I saw this band play last night and they really rocked my world. I bought their CD immediately afterward. The live set was a raw, garage punk sound. The record Seafaring Pyramids is more jangly, surfy, but still rock and roll. You can check out their myspace page here.
