Friday 18 October 2019 - The Ex-Optimists, A Sundae Drive, Only Beast

The Ex-Optimists (College Station, TX)
https://www.facebook.com/theexoptimists/

Pop songs played with guitars plugged into amps turned up way too loud to get over a drummer who hits them too hard, hollered to be heard.

 

 

A Sundae Drive (Houston, TX)
https://asundaedrive.bandcamp.com/

ASD is kinda punk, shoegaze, new wave, dreampop & indie rock. Since ’05, ASD’s been making melodies & harmonies play w/ noise & effects. Songs of love & loss, childhood mishaps, politics & justice, & some good old-fashioned angst are the themes revisited by these 4 out of Houston. We are Zeek (guitar & vocals), Sergio (guitar & vocals), Mike (drums) and Jennifer (bass, keyboards, & vocals).

 

 

 

Only Beast (Houston, TX)
https://onlybeast.bandcamp.com/

“Only Beast will be getting things started, which is like saying a freight train will be on stage. I don’t think I’ve seen anything like this three piece in my life.” - David Garrick, Free Press Houston

“Houston’s Only Beast are a fascinating band, combining elements of post-punk, progressive rock, and goth rock into a sound all their own, with vocalist Danielle Renee wailing atop the mélange like a 21st century Siouxsie Sioux.” - Kelly Minnis, 979 Represent
