Citradamus & Fazerdaze 19May17
In addition to punk pop I really like power pop (and many alt sounds and alt country/country rock, but that's different) and I just debuted a cool new sound from Fazerdaze and then dove on her body of work. Her stage name doesn't suck at all. Her label debut album is Morningside and it launched last week I think. She's a New Zealand gal and really a one-girl band; she records all the stuff herself but when she plays live she brings a band she built for that. The stuff seems effortless - from jangly guitar work to nice pop vocals and her understated demeanor but it's round and very good (and probably far from effortless) - she'll be one of the next big things I suspect. Check her out on YouTube, TIDAL or wherever - I may be accused of promoting adult contemporary but this is a new talent and the lyrics are a bit sad at the core. To compliment the listening I enjoyed a new RIIPA (rotating imperial IPA) from the stellar WY guys, Melvin, called Citradamus. Dank-ass Citra nose all the way, no additives... another winner. Kala and I enjoyed trying Lau's Tacos again today; very good. We also hit the CSFA center for the outgoing exhibits on Free Friday and met Larry Hulst, a photographer whose exhibit was of more great concerts than I'd believed possible - catch it; Dan Coen's large format stuff was also spectacular. I know it's time consuming to check out all this art stuff - finding what you like and what is great, music included, but retirement is so cool and enables such - I should've done even more of it all along the path.
