[ATTENDED: November 26, 2016] Easy Action
I had never heard of Easy Action when I saw that they were opening for Dinosaur Jr. When I looked them up online I was taken to a Swedish glam metal band. I was fairly surprised.
Then somehow I figured out it wasn’t that Easy Action. Rather, this Easy Action is the creation of singer John Brannon. Brannon is apparently notorious (or at least well-known), although I had never heard of him. He was in the punk band Negative Approach who I had heard of but didn’t know (they only released an Ep and an album). And then later Laughing Hyenas who I also don’t know. He formed Easy Action in 2001 and they released a second album in 2005. And not much since then.
During the show, Brannon said it had been a couple of years since they’d played together and he thanked J. for getting them all back on stage.
About the only thing that Easy Action had in common with Dinosaur Jr. was that they were loud. I arrived a few minutes into their set and I could hear them outside the building. When I walked in the room, it was so loud that I had to stuff the earplugs in my ears as I ran to the bathroom. (more…)
