Much thanks to the organizers of the festival, who brought top-notch talent to the infrequently visited backwater that is Arizona. Although it started with the disappointing news that the Smokey Mountain Skullbusters would not make it, a great local band opened the night. Suicide Circus rocked the house as people rolled in. A last minute entry, King Valley (from Mass.?), hit the stage next. I left my pool game to go watch this excellent band kick out some old-school jams. It looked like every long-hair in the house was moving in time to these guys. I talked to the singer, Tom, after the set. He told me they booked the show earlier that day and were onstage an hour after the plane landed. He was still wondering what his hotel room looked like when I last saw him. They are going to play again Saturday. This was the first night of a tour for them, and a damned fine start. The next band to come up was a local group named Mosara. Mosara has sludge-rock mastered. They hit the stage without a word. There were no breaks between the songs. The songs did have lyrics, but they were just there to support the kick-ass groove. At the end of the lead singer yelled a few things into the mike, but I didn't understand a word of it. At no time did they announce the name of their band. The only reason I know who they are is that the bassist's GF gave me a CD cause I was up front rocking out. The next band up was a Swedish group called Dexter Jones Circus Orchestra. Dexter played by far the most complex music of the night. They were well received by the now slightly tipsy crowd. The main act was three beautifull girls from ... well ... Hazard County. These chicks played the lead role quite well. Despite some equipment problems (fixed on the fly thx to a donation from Dexter) HCG pounded the crowd relentlesly right up until last call. I would have loved to have seen a few more songs. I bought the CD. This is only day one, folks. There are so many kick ass bands coming up. It's going to top off with Acid King. Wow. For a change, I'm in the right place and time. I'm not going to miss any of it. Submit: Submit --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
