I have come to like Hooveriii over the last couple of years and was really looking forward to seeing them.
They played with Acid Dad and Frankie and the Witch Fingers at PhilaMOCA a few years ago and I had a tough choice that night between this show and Torres (which I went to and it was awesome).
I hadn’t heard of Gift, but I listened to their album and thought it was really good.
I was quite looking forward to this show–in a strange venue that I’d never heard of before. (more…)
[DID NOT ATTEND: October 18, 2021] Frankie and the Witch Fingers / Acid Dad / Hooveriii
Over the quarantine, I have discovered the good fun of the Levitation online concert series and The Reverberation Appreciation Society. I’ve enjoyed some great concerts from psychedelic garage bands. So when it was announce with little fanfare that two bands I have really gotten to enjoy: Hooveriii and Acid Dad were going to be playing at PhilaMOCA with Frankie & the Witch Fingers (who i didn’t know), I was really excited at a chance for a night of psychedelic fun. Then it turned out to be on the same night as the Torres show.
The Torres show that I bought tickets for in December of 2019!
It was a really hard choice to pick which show to go to. Even though I had tickets for Torres already, they weren’t that expensive and I bought them almost three years ago! I spend the week before this show trying to decide who I wanted to see. I had seen Torres twice before (she’s amazing live). I had never seen any of the other three. Up until that morning I was still trying to decide.
Then as the morning struck, I decided that I would go to this show. At work, I watched some live footage of Frankie and then i watched a recent live show from KEXP with Torres. And after listening to the interview with Torres, she won out.
I don’t know if I’ll ever get to see all three bands together again, but I’m sure that at least the two openers will be back around.
But Markit Aneight was there to record all three bands
