Jsn 25 : "I Was at a Party" - Weird Hot (Philly)

(Speeding Through Oct Nov Dec / Part 7)

The last band I saw in 2014 was Philly's "Weird Hot". One of their more popular songs is "I Was at a Party", which is playing right here!




Weird Hot has more concerts in Philly planned for the next few months. Check out their web page for more info: Weird Hot on Facebook (CLICK HERE).

On a personal note, I just got through a couple very busy work months, which is why I'm way behind in posting about the music I've heard. Am "catching up". :)

Jan 24 : "jk bb" - Onwe (Brooklyn)

(Speeding Through Oct Nov Dec / Part 6)

David Welles, lead singer of Bushwick Cyberpunx band "Onwe" started the event by jumping down off stage and handing out "love letters" on looseleaf sheets to audience members standing in the first row (to the men as well as the women, I might add). Onwe was the fourth band up that night. High power performance both with the sound and the visuals, as the singer at one point pulled a couple members of the audience up onto stage with him.

Here is a sample of one of their songs, "jk bb".




Onwe is on tour (playing in Europe this week), but will be back in New York and playing again at Palisades on February 26. In the meantime you can check them out on Bandcamp

Jan 18 : "C-C-C-Convenient" - Bueno (Staten Island)

(Speeding through Oct Nov Dec / Part 5)

New Music / Freshly Written & Recently Released (August)

Another band I enjoyed at Palisades that night was Staten Island band "Bueno". The thing that stood out about Bueno's show was their vocalist's stylings as well as his on-stage presence. Here's a sample from their Bandcamp page. This is "C-C-C-Convenient":








This appears to be just a teaser, the first song out of what will be an album to be released later this year.

If you're interested in seeing them, you're in luck. They have a show scheduled for Thursday, January 29th, at Shea Stadium. In the meantime you can visit them on Facebook or Bandcamp.
