EAR PLUGS
Wednesday was Ultrawednesday III, with Sightseers on first. I was dissappointed
that The Titanics had been smudged off the chalkboard, but settled in for a
band I hadn’t seen yet. Sightseers started up and didn’t exactly knock
my socks off with their stage presence and, unlike some other local bands, their
music didn’t do a whole lot to make up for it. Kinda Oasis light rock stuff
with some blues or jazz riffs thrown in sparsely but few unexpected moments.
Not bad, just not great.
The Ultrababes went on second. They did a few new ones with the usual spirit
and their charm may come from the fact that they always seem to be enjoying
what they do.
El Caminos went on last and chased away anyone not wanting to be deafened by
massive hard rock sound. They dedicated one of the tunes to their departed member
and kept it loud, hard and nasty as long as I could take it. If you like that
kind of stuff you’ll love El Caminos. If you don’t, you’ll hate
it and they’ll still be happy.
