ps ps open your ears

restavrant @ the satellite 5.16.11

ps restavrant opened for he's my brother she's my sister. never had i heard of this band until now. this country/dirty blues/punk duo jonathan case {drums / keyboards / back-up vocals} & troy murrah {vocals / guitar / harmonica} brought a piece of country from their hometown of victoria, texas to los angeles incorporating a punk sound. johnathan built a truly artistic drum set-up: an open chest used as a base drum, a tire rim, license plates, and a taped on tambourine for drum parts. it simply works in a perfect hillbilly garage punk band sound kind of way.
ps ps thank ya'll for a welcome disaster to my ears!

cory chisel @ the satellite 1.23.11

ps spaceland is now the satellite. this was my first time back since the name change. cory chisel and adriel harris are the names that brought me back in. i was introduced to their music from a past friend on blip.fm. then i saw them live at the troubadour open for joshua james and continued to follow their music. his debut EP was recorded with his band the wandering sons, cabin ghosts. some of the best shows seen are at this small music venue. with this said cory chisel has now been included in my best shows seen at the satellite. it was quite an amazing feeling standing in a room of approx. 60 people listening to cory and adriel sing. chisel's soulful voice combined with pleasant acoustic guitars and keyboard by adriel is nothing short of captivating as they deliver heartfelt folk tunes. some of my clicks captured him immersed in spiritedness.. almost ghost-like. i am quite surprised how few people know about cory chisel when i talk music with them. thank you for a great show!
ps ps cory had a friend from venice, ca join them on stage playing electric guitar.
