A weekend filled with music of various Los Angeles bands

Quick round-up of music as I just recently blogged about many of the bands I saw over the weekend.

The New Fidelity and The Automatic Music Explosion played Club Dynamite Saturday night. AME Jeff got some vocal time. Is that a first? AME has this great new song built around high speed adrenaline that doesn’t allow you to breath – sorry, can’t remember the name of the song for the life of me, so you’ll just need to go see them to experience it. The New Fidelity went searching for a tambourine. At one point, the lead singer from The New Fidelity was right in front of me and then he suddenly disappeared. I re-located him lying on the floor with his guitar. The hot sister dj team S.I.S provided the dance atmosphere between sets. There aren’t any pictures from the night. If you’ve ever gone to Club Dynamite at Fox and Hounds, you’ll understand.

Get Set Go, Underwater City People and Silver Needle on Sunday night. Yes, it was just two weeks ago that I saw Get Set Go and Underwater City People at Old Towne Pub. The last time was a farewell party, this time around it was for a birthday party. It was Celeste’s (UCP) birthday. One of the guys from Get Set Go was wearing a Bang Sugar Bang t-shirt during the set. It brought back memories of a favorite band that no longer exists. Get Set Go’s bass player for the night was Andre from Silver Needle – a pink glitter bass at that. Jon (guitar) from Underwater City People seemed particularly excited about the night, knock down his microphone stand more than a couple of times. I think he was more excited about the birthday party than Celeste herself. They had a really good set. Silver Needle took the stage next. I haven’t written about them before. Andre did double duty for the night, bass for Get Set Go (as mentioned) and guitar for Silver Needle. There was a moment towards the end where their lead singer, Daniel, was searching his pockets for some time. Johnny 99 figure out what he needed. A guitar pick was quickly delivered. Talk about communication skills. The three bands playing that night at Old Towne Pub have a long history together. It was highlighted by the fact that all three bands used Get Set Go’s bass drum, just a sharing of equipment night.
