Chon Live Review

Chon is a really unique band. Not in their style, but in their execution of their musical precision. They have developed a cult following that holds them in high regards. Their style is very bubbly but tends to venture into a harder tone every so often. With their live music, it is nearly on par with their studio recordings. Aside from a few synthesized errors during live performance, their instrumental precision is amazing.

This recording happens to be done by Audiotree back in 2015. And with no surprise, Chon did perform one of their more famous songs "Bubble Dream."
This song is filled with twists and turns and tempo changes that many other bands have a hard time fully capturing. Bubble Dream is one of their live songs that have nearly no difference from their studio recording. The guitarists are always on timing which is the most important aspect of this almost "Tech-Metal/Rock" band. Timing and tone are everything and they capture it very well.

I highly recommend watching this recording by Audiotree. They did an amazing job of capturing the audio and leveling it. Obviously the band is very talented and does a great job at enveloping the crowd in the emotion that their music conveys.

Slightly Stoopid || Live Review

Image
Slightly Stoopid has to be one of my all-time favorite bands. A mix of Reggae, Ska, and with some rock and Pop influences, they create a very unique sound from the base Reggae genre. They originate from California and have been in the mainstream light for years now. Their earlier music had a more tradition Reggae sound while their more recent ventures have taken on a more Poppy influence to them. They have expanded and experimented with different sounds and succeeded in perfecting them. Their studio music is well mixed and is an amazing contrast to a majority of Reggae artists who embrace a grungy type style to their in-studio recordings. I started listening to Slightly Stoopid my Sophomore year of high school and have been to two of their live shows since then. They have had  openers such as The Dirty Heads and The Expendables who also have a reggae/rock/pop type sound to them. Their concerts are a very good balance between focusing on the music and the show itself. Most conce...

Rush || Live Review

Image
Okay, so for this blog post, I'm going to take a look at one of the bigger bands in history. Masterfully orchestrated music by one of the more common prog-rock bands, Rush. I was showed Rush's music when I was very young by my father. He had grown up listening them and now so have I. I believe Rush to be one of those bands that everyone can appreciate a few of their songs and the other songs are for their more niche fans. Their Moving Pictures album will be the focus of this post. Recorded and mastered beautifully for it's time, it really added depth to what you could achieve in music. Synthesizers mixed with tradition rock instruments blended a rock sound with a almost techno type sound. And they capture this really well in their live show. I went to their Time Machine Tour when I was a kid. It was actually my first concert I went to by a big time band. I absolutely loved the show and it remains at one of my favorite live bands ever since. The atmosphere they created ...

Tool Live Show 2016

Image
Tool has been a very influential band over the last 20 years not only for bands, but aspiring artists. With a different approach to old concepts, their music holds a very mysterious independence to it that many other bands to to capture, but fall short with. Starting out as a heavy early 1990's metal band, they started to venture more into an Art Rock style that seems to have stuck around and made them who they are today as a band. While an album as not been released by them in 11 years, their live shows are a constant reminder that they are around and here to stay for a while longer. The show I will be covering is from their tour in 2016. They hadn't toured in a couple years and it was a very hot subject not only among Tool fans, but the music scene in general. Tool is greatly known for their visual shows, and earlier on, Maynard James Keenan's (Lead Singer) Jim Morrison type "Shaman Dance" antics. This show brought screen effects and laser/lighting effects a...
