Well last night kicked major ** quack **.
All **their is no 4** bands I saw were good, Especially Genghis Tron. I guess I'll go in order of band here.
Black Cobra- It was a guitar player and a drummer playing some sludgy doom metal. I didn't know too much about them before but they were pretty good. They did a lot of tempo changes. They played some stuff that even got into grindcore levels too.
Yip Yip - I still don't understand what I saw. This isn't metal, but seeing as the other that played were I figured I'd talk about them anyway. It was just two guys. Both wearing black and white clothes but with opposite patterns with opposite patterns of themselves behind them on the backdrop they made. They had a bunch of different keyboards and a percussion kit extension to the keyboard with actual cymbals. And the other guy played the sax as well. The best way I can describe it is electronica with hints of ska and hints of jazz. It was weird, but I liked it oddly.
Teith - This was kind of creepy, but in a good way. All of the band members were wearing different plastic animal masks through the first song. Keyboard, guitar, bass, drums. Then they took them off and had skin-tight clear masks on there faces with the mouths covered with paint,but their eyes weren't covered. It was pretty ambient with lots of builds and leads from the rhythm section. No vocals. Well for the most part, their was one point where they all stopped playing and started singing as loud as they could without a mic. They were all singing the same note at different times, and it was pretty creepy with the masks and all. The guitar player had the eeriest mask btw. Apparently the guitarist from Pelican is a member. Which makes some sense with their sound.
Genghis Tron - Their light show kicks ** quack **. There was 8 lights that were tall and skinny in a semi circle pattern around them. And the lights would turn off and on to match the beats of the songs along with changing the colors of them. It was like metal collided with a rainbow. It was pretty much just awesome.
So yeah if you guys want to check any out here's some links.
