Showtime!

I met of with a couple of friends on Saturday to see Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. Art rock. Not being an Art rock kind of guy, I wasn't really sure what to expect. There were times during their performance where the music was considerably heavy and complex. I enjoyed that. Of course, there were times that were complex - not heavy - and not very enjoyable. Fortunately the enjoyable parts outweighed the not so enjoyable parts. They played tons of instruments, even the kitchen sink. I heard they use a glockenspiel (sorry, no pictures.) We pondered why a group would pursue such a niche genre for a career in the music business.

I must say though, the voices on the lead singer (guy) and the girl were spectacular. The girl has great range. There is something to be said about loyalty and devotion to your craft. You could tell there was talent there and I believe that talent and ability comes in direct proportion with your commitment to practice.

Sticktoitedness.

Looking forward:
May 15 - Mastodon
May 30 - Testament
