Last night took us to the Blind Pig, where we caught several great bands playing Fuzz Fest. We had just come from practice, so we didn't have the energy to stay for the whole show, but we got to hear JUNGLEFOWL, a duo of drums and guitar with a heavy, psychedelic sound. I might add that their lady drummer is quite a talent. She sings while playing with power, precision and style. We went out of curiosity, and what a surprise we got!
We also managed to hear Blue Black Hours, which was also a really great trio that has elements of early 90s grunge, psychedelic guitar tones (that seems to be the theme at Fuzz Fest), and their singer offered a return to natural rock singing, that is, using his own voice without any put-on, false stylizing. He didn't try to sound any particular way. He projected his own authenticity, and it was very refreshing.
It was a good selection of local talent, and I encourage you to see these bands in person, yourself. Fuzz Fest is a fairly new music festival, this year being (I think) its third appearance. From what we saw, it looks like it has a very promising future. It's a new direction for music in this area. We welcome the change.
