Bands Worth Seeing

Bambara
Bambara is a mix of awesome, rock, awesome, screaming, and more awesome.  The first time I saw them at Caledonia in Athens, I knew I had made a good decision to go.  Bambara combines a sexy arrangement of psychedlic noise and loud punk.  There is such a hypnotic feel to their music I often drift off to a far distant land of magic when I listen to their music.  If you like loud, awesome, and down right mesmarizing music, go see Bambara.  Also, enjoy watching Blaze on the drums.  He has 8 arms.

Lazer/Wulf


    Imagine if Metallica met Pantera and they had a baby...Yea, that's Lazerwulf.  A band of this talent and pure power deserves the applause of a nerdy blogger, and that's what I shall give to them.  *Breaks for applause*  I must say, I was blown away by the guitarist in this band.  Bryan combines hard rocking licks with some impressive jazz-like chops as well.  As for the drummer and basist... a deaf person would love their beats.  If you can't tell, I love Lazer/wulf, and I'm not afraid to admit it.

Manray
Do you like pop and rock?  If so, you will fall head over heals for Manray.  Their experimental/rock/punk/pop combination of everything awesome is an interesting blend of music that is more than refreshing to hear.  Some call them a "math" music band, but I never really liked that term.  Rather, I tend to see their music as a very creative blend of rythms and guitar licks that only are possible by talented musicians.  These guys have been playing together since they first picked up instraments, and each member has a passion for their instrament.  In particular, I am in love with their lead guitarist Gene.  For now, he is my favorite guitarist in Athens.  I really desire to see them again, and believe me, when they play again, I will be there.

    Everyone's a music blogger... :)

    This is actually really good, though. I particularly like your description of Bambara. If I didn't already love them, this would totally make me want to check 'em out!

    You may be interested to know that Bryan from Lazer/Wulf is playing as the third guitar on the new Manray EP. If you are around for athfest, catch 'Powers right before Manray at 40 watt on Friday night June 24th and LAZER/WULF at 9pm sharp on Saturday night June 25th at Caledonia.
