[Trash-talk] BRMC @ Canes in SD (review, NGR)

[blisteringheat]

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club is one of my favorite bands of the past couple
years but I'd yet been able to see them play. Luckily they decided to play
a bar in San Diego the night before their Coachella appearance. BRMC is a
three piece out of the bay area. They have a bluesy rock sound mixed with
some psychedelia and Velvets like distortion and feedback. The bass player
and guitarist split the vocals. The bass is played like a guitar on most
songs, so it sounds as if they have two guitars. Anyways, I was absolutely
stunned. What a fantastic live band!! They don't seem like the kind of band
that would be *that* fun on stage. I'm not sure why, but I always had that
impression. I was way off. I would love to see them at an all ages show,
b/c there were times last night I just wanted to jump around but it was 21+
and everyone was just nodding their heads to the music while holding their
beers. If you ever have the chance definitely check them out. Here's the
setlist: Complicated Situation / Shuffle Your Feet / Spread Your Love / Six
Barrel Shotgun / Stop / White Palms / Rise Or Fall / Vision / In Like The
Rose / Red Eyes and Tears / Shade Of Blue / Heart and Soul // Love Burns /
Whatever Happened To My Rock 'N Roll (Punk Song).

Kill Me Tomorrow opened, and while they definitely aren't for everyone I
really liked them. Another three piece. Very loud with lots of distortion
and ear piercing feedback. Yeah! Plus the bass player looked like Gwen.  :)
