[DID NOT ATTEND: March 18, 2023] White Reaper / Soul Blind / Mamalarky
I was intrigued by this show because I’d heard some good things about White Reaper. But when I listened to them I wasn’t all that impressed. But then WXPN started playing their single “Pages” and I really like it.
At some point I realized that I wasn’t going to be able to make this show, so I haven’t listened to anything else by them so I didn’t know if I was missing out on something I really wanted to see. Now that the show’s over I’ll give them a more proper listen.
Soul Blind was originally listed as on this bill, but it appears that they didn’t play.
A review describes them as:
Soul Blind is a four-piece group from the Hudson Valley, creating a fuzzy blend of shoegaze and alternative that takes inspiration from bands like The Smashing Pumpkins, Alice in Chains, Third Eye Blind, and Deftones.
Aside from Third Eye Blind, I think I’d enjoy their set.
I had heard of Mamalarky on NPR Music. Their single was a boppy weird thing that I kind of liked. But I knew that the rest of their sound could have gone in many different directions. The singer is from Cherry Glazerr. According to the program they said they wanted to make a psych pop record but not from “60’s dude band.”
I feel like this whole show would have been really fun. Probably best I didn’t find out until after it was done.
