Went to the A-Kamp and One Nation Undereducated show on Thursday night at McCoys.
The first song A-Kamp did really reminded me of the Grateful Dead a lot. I like those guys.
They are fun. They did the most rockin version of frosty the snowman i've ever heard, and actually dedicated it to me and Alex and our families and friends. I was sure they were going to play their olymusic song that I keep hearing about when they said they were dedicating a song, but then it was frosty, but it was all good, because it was the best frosty ever. they played the olymusic song at the end of their set, but i was foolishly purchasing a beer at the bar, unaware that the song was in motion, only knowing that there were some catchy riffs in the air, but not tuned in to the lyrics. the song came to an end just as i was coming back to the area where i could successfully catch the lyrics. friends were hooting and howling with bright eyes and Alex flashed me a smile and someone asked what i thought of the olymusic song, and i was all "damn! you mean i missed it!!??!!??!"
I'll have to move in with those guys to hear it I guess. One thing I didn't know is that Lars is playing drums with A-Kamp. Cool!
One Nation Undereducated was loud, intense, music with drive. I was compelled to ask Tracy what sort of FX he is using, because there were some awesome sounds coming from his guitar. He showed me a Big Muff, and another distortion pedal, and that was it! He said he does lots with harmonics, and that has to have been what I heard. Great technique. Those guys are pretty tight, definitely rockin, and as I said, they make some sounds that I haven't heard before. Check em out if you get the chance. Rock on Olympia! Oh, and one of the guys from Sesame Street Gangsters gave me a flyer with a mostly naked Santa Claus that I'm planning to scan in soon!
