Foozle and cowardhound 1/14/2014

The Crowd, an entertained joyful bunch

Below are images of Foozle and cowardhound performing at Sluggo's on January 14, 2014.
cowardhound had its first performance as a full band after a single day of practice. Despite this, they threw at the crowd a two song set of angry unrefined layered cacophony that leaves trend followers bored on facebook and artists craving more.

Foozle on the other hand had clearly practiced more than a day together. They sound like if The Max Levine Ensemble and Silver Jews had a forbidden genre mixing affair that produced a sullen love child ready to smash the expectations of underground music and culture in suburbia. They have found a beautiful meeting point of raw energy, harmony, technicality and lyrical content that so many strive for but fail horribly in their attempt to locate it. Their performance didn't lack any of the components present in their recordings and brought with it the drive only small venues can produce.

Unfinished thought 4

I live an Xtreme life. When it gets too Xtreme, Diet Dew pulls me through. 

So, here I am lost and confused. Anxious as hell, in a corner by myself, in a room full of costumed drunks. Slurred conversations meant to indicate acquaintanceship blur the audio. In the crowd are faces I know but I do not want to converse with. "Shit" races through my brain. "(My bureaucratic name)!? It is so great to see you!" exclaims an excited young lady I technically dated less than a year ago. "Well you know, I have been working on my art, which brings me to my frustration with everything morally wrong in this world which I am going to brokenly ramble about until you zone out." it worked. Her eyes indicate that she has no clue what I am talking about or how she got here. "Wellll, I'm going to goo but I'll see you around." she offers as she wanders off into the crowded bar.
