[ATTENDED: April 26, 2018] Overlake
My friend Al knows the members of Overlake and he thought he might be attending this show. I was bummed he wasn’t there (and even moreso when I tried to text him to see if he was there and realized that I didn’t have his cell number, gah).
I wound up getting to the show really early and parked literally against the stage. I was fascinated that at the start of the show all three drum sets were set up. And how fascinating that Overlake (the opener) was right in the middle.
I looked up the band before the show and the description of the band sounded like I’d really like them:
Overlake is a three-piece band from Jersey City, comprised of Tom Barrett (voice, guitar), Lysa Opfer (Bass, voice), and Nick D’Amore (drums). When they’re not incessantly waxing philosophical about the musical merits of both MBV and GBV … Overlake is busy honing their own unique brand of noisy dreampop, drawing from such stalwart influences as Dinosaur Jr, Slowdive, and Yo La Tengo.
