Variety of Rock @ Neumos Tonight

October 2nd, 2009

If you need a way to forget today’s rain and kick off a weekend of music (followed by Saturday’s Reverb Fest in Ballard) there’s a wide range of local rock at Neumos tonight for 8 bucks.
.
Uncle Doodad is headlining the evening with probably the loudest rock of the night. I watched them perform their self-described “Face Melting Americana” at a house (right after playing a show) and the whole house actually did shake. The neighbors also made many appearances, which ended their set early before they got through a 20 song set list. It was a great time. Their long list of songs range from heavier rock, to jam, to music with reggae influences, as the lead singer/guitarist often switches between different instruments.
.
Also, on the bill, are Lost Dogma, playing indie country americana, Noah Parriot, playing acoustic indie, and what might be one of my favorite bands of the night, Ghost Town Riot. Ghost Town Riot’s myspace defines them as “ghettotech/ freestyle/chinese traditional”, which sounds fairly implausible, but they do have an intriguing sound, similar to RX Bandits and Sublime.
.
If you are looking for a completely different fair tonight there’s a solo act which involves a stage full of supporting robots, bondage, and heavy metal; check out Captured! By Robots @ the Funhouse for $10. Best of luck.
