[DID NOT ATTEND: October 6, 2022] Turnstile / Citizen / Ceremony / Ekulu / Truth Cult

I was planning to see Turnstile back in May, although the overall bill–5 heavy bands–seemed a little too much.

This new show, just a few months later since they are always touring, had a much more interesting bill.

But, once again, this show was the same night as Cate Le Bon, who tours less frequently than Turnstile, so Cate won out.

JPEGMAFIA is a rapper and producer who I know more from his remixes than his actual music.  He draws from noise and punk and, frankly, sounds like someone I would really like and like someone I would really have liked to see live.

I have been wanting to see Snail Mail for quite a while.  Indeed, I was supposed to see her back in April, but I decided to stay home.  So I’m missing out on her once again.

This bill, though–a quiet folkie indie rocker, a noise rapper and a punk band was pretty interesting.

[DID NOT ATTEND: May 24, 2022] Turnstile / Citizen / Ceremony / Ekulu / Truth Cult

The new Turnstile record is fun and wild.  And I’ve heard that a Turnstile live show was absolutely bonkers.  I wanted to go to this show, although the prospect of five bands in one night is exhausting.

Plus I had tickets to see Sondre Lerche (they couldn’t be more different options)–which we wound up not going to anyhow.

Citizen are a rocking band who embrace a lot of styles.  I hear some post punk and some shoegaze wrapped in an emo blanket.  I rather dig their stuff.

Ceremony were a hardcore band who have expanded their palette a bit.  Indeed, one of their newest songs has a female vocalist singing gently in the middle of the song.

Ekulu, are a crossover hardcore band with lots of screaming metal solos.

Truth Cult throws in a bunch of influences.  There’ a lot of 70s rock in their delivery (those backing vocals and riffs) but the lead vocals are firmly in the punk realm.  There’s a hint of Fucked Up on their overall sound, as well.
