rademacher show review

ah, summer nights at tokyo garden usually mean two things: good music; me sweating. fortunately, it wasn't too warm inside tokyo, and i didn't have to do much of the latter. but, the former was present.

first off, fay wrays no play. they've recently added a bassist, and he was sick. and, apparently he's not even going to be in the band much longer. super fresno bassist, sam rocha from charlotte's bakery will soon be playing with the band.

the boxing lesson had a boring open. but, they totally redeemed themselves with the next songs. it was kind of loud and the vocals were a bit lost but the boxing lesson provided a nice set. their cover of white rabbit was awesome.

rademacher, oh rademacher. not quite as musically tight but that could be expected with a different bass player. their current sound also included more brad singing, which was not as good as greer singing. overall, it was not quite the same sound, and it just lacked a bit of the usual rademacher spark.

Cool, did Primer Skyline not play either?

they did, and had a nice sound. i was just lazy and didn't talk about them. there was also a band that played that wasn't on the bill, but we arrived as they were finishing.
