[ATTENDED: June 24, 2023] LaMacchia
LaMacchia is John LaMacchia. John LaMacchia is the guitarist for Candiria, a metal band I don’t know who plays a kind of mathcore/prog something or other.
LaMacchia is his first solo album, and it’s a very different feel. He and Sabrina Ellie are the main singers and the album has a much more mellow vibe.
For this show, he had a band and I really enjoyed their set a lot. There was no female vocalist, but there were outstanding harmonies from his bassist (who had an excellent sound and was really fluid in the basslines) and his guitarist/keyboardist who seemed to be doing all kinds of things over there.
Their drummer was a guest drummer for the night and he was really good, too.
Overall, I was really impressed with how the band could maintain an overall heavy sound but still have excellent (at times) three part harmony. There was also some diversity in sound up on stage too, with a couple of the songs being almost atmospheric.
“Disconnect” even had a sample from Casablanca (who samples Casablanca?). (more…)
