dunefreak Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Then last night Anna and I went out to check out a band downtown. I must say, holy crap....I haven't had that much fun watching some locals bands in a long time. It helped that we met up with ISBB and his lil bro. Good times, guys. All the bands were freakin awesome (if your into punk/ska/reggea at all). We went just to check out this one singer chick, Loren. I doubt anyone knows the band, but she used to be the singer from GDB (Goldfish Don't Bounce). She is now on her own and doing a solo thing. Words can't describe how badass she is. It was just her and a ucalalee (sp? ) The other opening bands were amazing. It was nice to finally find some talented local bands. That scene has been kinda dead over the past couple years. They played at the Bunkhouse Saloon. It is in the heart of downtown on 11th St and Fremont. Its a crappy area, but we'll definitley go back. The place was a great venue for live bands. I was kinda worried it would be a giant sh*thole, but it was pretty cool. A couple of the bands worth checking out were: One Pin Short and The HOTS (Holding On To Sound) Just thought I'd share for those that are into this kinda thing. A bunch of these bands are playing again tonight at "The Box Office" downtown. We are probably gonna check em out again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunefreak Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 We checked em out again last night at the Beauty Bar. They were just as good, if not better than Fri night. We chatted with the singer and bass player after their set. Their some pretty cool guys. We're trying to get them to get booked down at Havasu the weekend we'll be down there. That would be the chit. They are playing another show tonight across from UNLV at a place called Yayo’s Tacos. I guess there's a 420 show since it's 4-20. :fro_smokin: They don't have a website, but here's their MyyyyySpace music page. http://www.myspace.com/onepinshort If we can't make it to Coral for Memorial Weekend, we're definitly gonna go to the show with them and Buck-Nine at Jillians.
