Decisions
Have To Be Made.
Dude.
Friday night of the New Noise Music Festival is hard for choices: Local party
band? Out of town big band music? Chill surf rock? Ug! Why?! Why so
many good choices!
But it
seems none would be a bad choice, so here are mine for Day 2:
Ralph Torrefrana (Santa Barbara)
Indie Pop / Folk
Deets: Friday, 8:30pm @ SOhO
Sounds
like: A funky
fresh version of Matt Costa
Cool
Factor: Fresh
face. Fresh sound. (Plus, the kid used to work with me at KjEE, so I got to
show him some love.)
Noise
Within (Southern California)
Rock /
Metal
Deets: Friday, 10pm @ Whiskey Richards
Sounds
like:
F’ing metal! \m/
Cool
Factor: Raw
sound. With John Fahnstock of Snot, these guys know true hard rock. Keep it
real.
Typhoon
(Portland)
Indie
Orchestra Pop
Deets: Friday, 11:30pm @ The Savoy
Sounds
like: A young
American version of Arcade Fire
Cool
Factor: It’s
big. Usually playing with 14 members, not only is the band big, so is the
sound.
