[ATTENDED: October 24, 2021] oso oso
I had not heard of oso oso but I had heard good things about them.
They came out fairly quickly after Syndey Sprague’s set.
Starland Ballroom always puts down a projector screen while the bands are setting up. As oso oso was about to take the stage, it looked like the lead singer was doing a hand stand or a keg stand or was funneling a beer. I couldn’t quite tell, but his feet were in the air.
I’m not sure if I was annoyed by the crowd (SO CROWDED) or what but I found oso oso to be one the most meh band I’ve seen on a long time. I really felt nothing for them.
I didn’t hate them, I just listened to them and felt little.
Their music was fine–occasionally catchy but not really memorable and I found that I really didn’t like the lead singer’s voice. It wasn’t bad or awful, it just didn’t seem to fit the music and I found myself enjoying their instrumental sections a ton more.
Someone near me said that they thought he was so stoned he couldn’t sing right. He did seem like he was a little off, including his weird between song banter and chants. But maybe he’s just a weird guy.
The last song had a couple of parts and few tempo changes and I really liked it. But overall, I’ve added them to me list of bands I don’t want to see again.
