Preview: The Hood Internet at The Firebird, 5.15.2013
Half of the production/mash-up duo known as The Hood Internet turned The Firebird into a sweaty, grooving dancehall last night. More shots soon, but in the meantime, download their newest mixtape and get your hips moving.
Futurebirds at The Firebird, 4.5.2013
When I talked to Daniel Womack last week before their Firebird show, he described the bands’ image thusly:
I’m not exactly sure how we would ‘describe’ our image though. Maybe a flock of bald eagles spread across an American sunset in a massive “V”, and blazing on the horizon are carnival lights and you can smell the funnel cakes and corn-dogs and first kisses on the ferris wheel. That’d be our scratch n’ sniff version.
Right on.
Live, the band is a whirlwind of guitars, hairwhips, dissonance and harmony. It’s ‘Murika, but not in a #tcot way — it’s that funnel cake smell, that sunset. And it’s damn good.
The Whigs at The Firebird, 4.5.2013
Red lights. White tube-lights wrapped around the kick drum. Three dudes, playing like their fingers were on fire.
Yeah, The Whigs kicked ass. And their look complimented their garage rock songs perfectly — flannel, jeans, no frills. And, of course, the red lights.
Dessa at The Firebird, 3.11.2013
Sometimes, the visuals of a concert aren’t about lighting or wardobe — they’re about charisma, and commanding the attention of everyone in the room. Dessa is a walking, talking example of that kind of magnetism, and The Firebird loved her for it.
Hell of a show.
