The Ghosts of Curtis, Astral, Victim of Collision @ The Knockout, 3/22/08
Posted on 03.23.08 by hardrockchick @ 10:34 am

The thought of a tribute band makes many people cringe. Are they ever really any good? Why can’t they play their own music?

At one time I suffered from this same thought process. And most are probably not that great. But last night at The Knockout, two bands demonstrated proficient skills at mimicry of great bands.

It was my first time at The Knockout, a strange but charming venue in Bernal Heights. It’s a bit awkward in its set up, brings a very eclectic crowd, and has mega cheap drinks.

Saul Williams, Dragons of Zynth @ Slim’s, 3/21/08
Posted on 03.22.08 by hardrockchick @ 6:42 pm

Fucking awesome.

The end.

Kidding.

I will remain surprised as to how many people are unfamiliar with Saul Williams. And some of those who are, like me, found out about him through his opening sets for NIN, and his ongoing musical relationship with Trent Reznor. Unfortunately, many of those people write him off because they “aren’t into hip-hop”.

Saul Williams is much, much more than hip-hop. In fact, that would be a derogatory way to describe him considering the type of music currently being recorded under the genre. Plus Williams’ voice has some similar tonal qualities to Reznor’s, for those of you like me that are into stuff like that…
