I Just Read About That…

[DID NOT ATTEND: July 23, 2024] Spoon Benders / Color Charge / Disaster Artist / [was] The Lunar Year

Spoon Benders opened for The Psychedelic Porn Crumpets on a night I couldn’t go (still sad about that one).

If they open for PPC, they must be worth checking out so I had considered going to this show.  But I had a couple of other shows this week so this one was pushed aside.

They are a progressive psych-rock powerhouse that has been relentlessly crisscrossing the United States, leaving a trail of newly acquired fans in their wake. Spoon Benders have become synonymous with an electrifying stage presence that can only be described as loud, controlled chaos.

When I first listened to some of their songs I wasn’t that excited, but I feel like I must not have been paying attention because their sound is very cool with lots of echoing guitars and a much-needed female voice on lead and backing vocals.

I would like to see them some day though.

Color Charge are a Philly band.  They play fuzzy garage rock with nice harmonies.

I can’t find much else about them.

Disaster Artist seems to have replaced The Lunar Year

here’s a review for someone on Reddit

saw them last night in state college, and man that venue has not had anyone that insane before
they’re based in philly but from jersey, identical twins and need way more recognition
they don’t have a lot of stuff officially released but if you ever have an opportunity to see them live fuckinngGO

I listened to a few songs and they seems pretty out there but more in an electronic than a punk sorta way.  Probably a good time though.

The Lunar Year is an art rock project based out of Philadelphia, PA. The group is led by front person Katie Hackett.  Inexplicably every thing that talks about them calls them psych-punk, but every song I’ve listened to has been slow and moody.  So I don’t know what to think.
