[ATTENDED: March 1, 2022] Dazey and the Scouts 

I had never heard of Dazey and the Scouts when my son said he wanted to go to their only show.

I did some research, found out that they’d been a band about five years ago. They were from Boston.  They put out a short record called Maggot and then broke up.

Sometime about two years ago, their songs were discovered by the TikTok users and Dazey had a huge (in terms of their band) resurgence of popularity–presumably more than they had initially.

My understanding is that the song “Sweet Cis Teen” was what really went big online.  Dazey and the Scouts are a queer band, and they sing about sex.  “Wet” is pretty funny and explicit.  And “James Deen” was a porn star who was later accused of rape and sexual assault. (more…)

[ATTENDED: March 1, 2022] Model/Actriz 

I hadn’t heard of this band.  I looked  them up online and listened to the first song that came on and didn’t think that much of it–a kind of aggro dance-punk with a spoken lyric delivery.

When I saw the lineup, I wished that Model/Actriz went on first so I wouldn’t miss any Gully Boys.

But then Model/Actriz came out.  [The really cool thing about Elsewhere was that they posted the time the bands were scheduled to go on, so you could adjust your purchases accordingly.  They also had this really cool wristband that somehow connected to your credit card–you were only allowed to use the wristband to buy things at the bar.  High tech!] (more…)

[ATTENDED: March 1, 2022] Gully Boys 

I had been hearing rumblings about Gully Boys once Get Better Records signed them.  I checked out their songs online and loved them.  They have a fantastic angry 90s’ al rock vibe combined with sensational harmonies.

The band has three fantastic singers.  And n top of that, they write wonderfully catchy songs.

We arrived in Brooklyn with enough time to get some delicious food at a taco truck.  But we decided to wait on line for Dazey merch and that’s when Gully Boys came out.  So we could hear them fine, I just couldn’t really focus on them.

They sounded great–Elsewhere’s sound system is top notch.

Gully Boys started as a trio.  Drummer Nadirah McGill told us that they started a band and didn’t know how to play anything. They learned together.  That was five years ago.  I can’t believe they are this good in that short period of time.  She sang a lot of backing vocals, but also took lead on “Like Me Now.”  It was really fun watching her dreadlocks fly around while she played.
