Downside of Truth - Thought Cloud
Less Than Nothing - Likwid Blu
At the Rock Night Club
|
Friday night at the Rock Nightclub with three bands that are
progressing along hard and heavy for the fans. Here we had up and
coming 'Likwid Blu'and 'Less Than Nothing' opening for the heavy female fronted 'Thought
Cloud' and 'Downside of Truth'.
Likwid Blu brought out some new material for the show that
included a heavy driving instrumental song. Vince, Justin and Jodi are
working on a demo CD and have been looking for a full time bass player.
Vince and Justin are working in some good performance moves and Jodi is
rockin solid at drums. They brought some fans out and got the evening
rolling and rocking
along.
Many scene fans may have got a look at the heavy sound of Less Than
Nothing as they took to the Rock nightclub. The band Thought Cloud has
been out touring the midwest with their new
self titled CD. Here one will find a rather progressive heavy rockin
set with the hard edged vocals of Leah, slick guitar work and a good
time performance that goes off well with fans. Downside of Truth closed
the night with their crowd rally heavy rockin metal set which moves
relentlessly forward from song to song with a driving 'Determination'.

- Criminal Intent by Phelony -
It
was july 30th, and as i walked into the rock, i kicked myself for being
late and missing the first band, LIKWID BLU. so i had to ask the people
that were there. first up i asked Ron Shreiner what he thought, he
replied by saying "they ( Likwid Blu ) have potential." and liked them
alot. Lennie Anderson ( from out from under ) also agreed they have
potential. Likwid Blu is a newer band on the scene, and from hearing
from Mike Johnson (from thoughtcloud) who stated F@#$!ing awesome! i
got the feeling i'll get to see them again in the near future.
Next band that night was LESS THAN
NOTHING! great energy from these guys, good indutrial sound to match the bands
potential. I asked Rachel Erickson what she thought, she said "less than nothing
was awesome". I chatted with Justin from the band (whoplays bass) what he
thought about his and the bands performance, and he was pleased with the
results. A good guy as well as his band--keep an eye ball out for these
guys.
Third
was thoughtcloud. GREAT MUSICIANS I was conducting some of my
"mini" interviews with Jodi Detomaso(who plays drums in Likwid Blu)
when towards a set of intense perfomance from lead singer and the guys
when they performed one of my favs from jane's addiction,"mountain
song"! with Vince vocals, they did perry and the boyz major
justice! i'd say that it really could stand in place of the
original.
And then, after a
night of good sized-crowd and crowd-sized music, D.O.T. walked on stage to
close out the night. This band is a must see for anybody who is a coniseiur of
metal. with a old school, hard-driving edge, these guys put it in your face and
leave scars. I chatted with the whole band backstage at the rock. check out what
they had to say....

about 2 months ago and DOT said they are at full strength.

light, South- jack&coke, Winter- BEER BEER BEER! ( I think the same
way! uncanny )
>Worst show to date. JAN.23 2004
>What about the show

So, this
is my latest for you rockers and rollers!!! check out these guys and see what
you think. a good ass-kicking is always good for the soul. and the loss of teeth
means you get to eat jell-o and pudding. Till next time.
