Super Fat Tuesday

"I won't lie, I've been drinkin a little", these words could mean a good show or a trainwreck that is about to break up the band.

In the case of The Cops it was a good time for everyone. Tonight is the first time I have witnessed the unbridled sonic assault that they bring. I went to see Kinski who didn't let me down as well, but The Cops are a whole different animal. A five piece band, three guitars (which I personally love), bass and drums. The singer is a wild man, he played one song from the audience floor. Soundwise they felt like a 70's rock band with a loose Stones/Stooges vibe. No a huge turnout for a Tuesday night a Neumos, but the band was crazy all the same. I will have to check them out again.

Kinski at Easy Street Queen Anne

Last night after work I headed up to the Kinski in store performance at Easy Street Records on Queen Anne. They were promoting their new album " Down Below It's Chaos". I didn't make note of how many songs they played, but they were all off the new record. I don't want to go to much into reviewing the new album, as I haven't listened to it all the way through yet. The songs live were great, I like it when in store performances are at full volume, and this one was. They didn't hold back like some bands do when performing earlier and in a odd setting. This sounded like they do at any club in Seattle, which may have annoyed some customers, but I loved it. The new material reminded me of the last record, with some new melodic content from the guitars. If you missed the in store they are playing a record release Sept. 27Th at the Crocodile Cafe.
