[DID NOT ATTEND: October 22, 2022] Algernon Cadwallader / Sun Organ / Customer
Algernon Cadawaller is another show where I fell for the hype and then couldn’t go.
I hadn’t heard of the band but apparently they were legendary. I wouldn’t have bought a ticket without listening to them, of course, but seeing that they were an emo/math rock band was enough to pique my interest.
So I grabbed a ticket before it sold out. Only to discover that it was the same night as my King Gizzard show (and of course, King Gizzard wins that). So I’ll never know if it was worth the hype.
Sun Organ is a kind of shambolic noise band from Philly. The first two songs on their album Candlelight Showertime are kind of slow and ponderous (as if the vocals are slowed down) and I was about to give up on them, but the third and fourth songs are more interesting both in tempo and sonic construction. I’m sure they’d be fun live.
Customer is a New York based post punk / power indie pop band. They have two songs out and they’re both really good. All of the members have been in other bands and I love the way Nicola Leel sings in a slightly out of sync way. Cool stuff.
