| French Vanilla |
Sadwich opened up the night. As they were about to start someone yelled out, "Where's Zoey?" There was a moment of silence which was ended when someone in the band -- the new band member, I'm guessing -- said, "I'm Zoey now." The person in the audience yelled back, "You're the new Zoey!" This is a lo-fi band that immediately catches your attention. They resemble Summer Twins with a touch more beat. Their last song had just been written and was their first time performing it. It was a mess, but made the band all the more endearing. Near the end of the set, the person who had previously yelled out about Zoey, once again made her voice heard, "Literally, anything you play we will like."
French Vanilla is a band I saw earlier this year at The Echo. What did I notice this time other than the awesome inclusion of a saxophone in this punk band? They had the most casual set up. They just meandered on and off stage. I was thinking for sure they'd have to start their set 15 minutes late, but they actually started within 5 minutes of their scheduled set time. I'd say with the saxophone, this band is a punk-jazz band. The lead singer can definitely jump dance longer than any of us. Lyric of the set, "Keri got her period in the shower and everyone laughed at her.

Jurassic Shark told the audience that they're from Monrovia. Folks from Monrovia must like to get places early. They started their set 10 minutes early. This band will hit you up with quick spurts of energy.
What was so great about this band: one of the band members mugged it up big time for me. It was so funny. (See photo to the left.)
