When I stopped by Pianos a couple weeks ago after work, a band that stood out was "Veronica". I'm still listening to their music and have good memories of the show.
I listened to samples of various bands at various venues before I picked what day and where to go out. I liked the music on Veronica's page, but liked them even more live. Stylistically the live instrumentals were much more dark and dirty than the web music, and, what intrigued me specially was that the dark and dirty instrumentals were there even when the lyrics were, well, less dark and dirty. I felt engaged with the band's performance every minute.
Veronica is two brothers, Dominican musicians Eric and Omar Rodriguez who now live and play in New York, but with their roots originally in Santo Domingo. As a little bit of background, Omar says ::: "We've been rehearsing for a while from about the summer of 2010 ... Started gigging around 2011 ... Had two different bass players before settling as a duo .... The original band was intended to be a 3 piece but as we became better at sequencing and sampling realized we could make more progress as a duo and either sequence or sampling all the other parts .... Our sound is originally inspired on 80's post punk and synth pop ... I mainly write the songs but Eric is beginning to write too .... His song will enter our live set in the near future."
Here is a sample of their music. This song is titled "Fear On the Radio", and is from 2011 :::
"Veronica Popsonic" is going to be doing a show TONIGHT at The Flat (308 Hooper Street) in Brooklyn. The band hopes to come out with a 6-song EP next month!
