BAND INFORMATION: TOKO RI GET HIGH: Super powerful soulful dance your ass off El Paso style Rock n Roll. Think Chuck Berry meets The MC5. THE STRANGE ATTRACTORS: "The quartet's self-recorded and self-titled debut, originally intended to be demos, is one of the strongest local efforts this year, sounding at times like a darker and more claustrophobic Spaceman 3, with cryptic social commentary bleeding through the fog. "It's a byproduct of the times," says Pearce. "We focus on things that people don't necessarily like to think about or acknowledge." Diaz takes it one step further: "It's supposed to be a little uncomfortable for the listener." – Austin Powell WINE & REVOLUTION: "R&B just like the Kinks and the Small Faces and some band called the Who used to make. When those cats made it, they called it 'freakbeat.' When these Austinites make it, we call it 'the sort of mannered yet oddly pleasant garage pop that seems right at home at one of Austin's best small clubs." –austin360.com |
