Starcrawler....hipster band from SoCal...

Post by budda12ax7 » Sun Mar 04, 2018 7:28 pm

I really wanted to dislike this band, but I don't. I'm not a fan of the Echo Park, Silverlake scene in SoCal....I spent many a wasted night in all the venues and dives, and also played at all of them...

This Band.....
Garage Punk...there seems to be a lot of money behind these folks....I find that interesting, but hell the guitar player is 16.

Here are some vids..Arrow De Wilde....kinda like Iggy meets Marilyn Manson....

I'll pass on saying anything about the music but that 2 minutes of nothing in the video before it starts is total hubris, who the hell can sit through that pish?

Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.

I mean, they're fucking terrible, right?
38 seconds. That’s all I could stand before shutting it down. Holy shit that was awful.
The cool thing about fretless is you can hit a note...and then renegotiate.

A 15 year old me would have thought that was alright.

Iggy meets Rocky Horror Picture Show.

If neither good nor interesting, pretend otherwise until you believe it yourselves.

There's a little bit of 70's singalong anthem quality to it I like, but otherwise I'm not into it.

They're like a young band specifically designed for the elderly, it's getting on for spoof band from a late 70's high school drama...slapstick! Boomer dog whistle rawk.
