[DID NOT ATTEND: June 22, 2024] Slomo Sapiens / Wax Jaw / Flatwaves
My failed quest to see Wax Jaw again continues. This show was announced as Wax Jaw’s last show for a while, as they regroup and plan to record a new album. So I would have really liked to go. But I had tickets to see Frank Turner and his band who I have been trying to see for longer. So, never mind.
I love the name Slomo Sapiens I first heard of them last year and I wrote
Slomo Sapiens continues the tradition of great band names from Philadelphia. I didn’t know much about them, but they are described as a psychedelic “sludge rock” trio, which sounds pretty good to me. I’ve listened to a couple of songs and psychedelic sludge rock is right on the nose.
This show was actually an album release party for The Holy Babble, their second album. It’s pretty good and I imagine they are lots of fun live.
Flatwaves are Philly-based garagegaze. And that’s pretty accurate. They have a shoegaze vibe but with a kind of heaviness that’s a twist on the genre.
I’m sure this would have been an enjoyable show
