[ATTENDED: November 10, 2021] Doll Skin [postponed from March 17, 2020]
I was really looking forward to this show because I was taking my son and his friend to their first punk show. My son had been to a couple of other shows, but nothing where there was going to be as much call for a pit (the other shows were usually too crowded for a pit).
We arrived very early (even though I thought we were late). Doll Skin didn’t go one for twenty minutes after stated time. Which was fine because there was a ton of merch and political organization fliers in the back of the room to look at.
Then Doll Skin came on stage and there was a good chance that the band was younger than my son. That’s actually not true, although when Doll Skin started, lead singer Sydney Dolezal was seventeen. They are currently 20 or 21.
Meghan Herring and Tay (hired bass player) had COVID so they had Cameron Gile on bass, their driver Dustin Elias-Odgers on bass and multi instrumentalist Torri Ross on drums.
The band was amazing. Syd was a dynamite singer–a great performer, an excellent voice and a lot of fun. Their lead guitarist, who I think was Alex Snowden, was incredible–phenomenal riffs and a great sound. And the substituting players were fantastic. I don’t know how often they played the songs before, but they were tight as anything.
I really enjoyed their set. And after the show Syd chatted with us and signed my son’s poster, so that was pretty cool too.
