Blog-achella '07 - Kings Of Leon (Sat.) / Klaxons (Sun.)
Sometimes, working in Hollywood can be pretty surreal. How so you say? As if working with Sugar Ray on a daily basis weren't enough, meet my newest co-worker...
Yup... me and freakin' Slater, standin' around waitin' for our turn at the donuts. Wouldn't have thunk it whilst watching "Saved By the Bell" (cough cough) years ago on TBS in the hour between getting home from school and going out to milk the cows every day ... life is strange.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who they are: Two sons of a Tennessee preacher and two other rednecks.
What they sound like: They are the ones keepin' the spirit of Lynrd Skynrd, Thin Lizzy, Molly Hatchet, et al. alive, if you believe the press clippings. Southern Rawk!
What I think: "Freebiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiird"! Actually, that would be a massive improvement. This is sub-"meh". Go back to the trailer park, boys.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who they are: A British band, 2/3 of which are from Stratford-Upon-Avon, home of original B-Boy, Billy Shakespeare.
What they sound like: The British have dubbed these guys the leaders of the "New Rave" movement. British people love dubbing "movements". I personally don't get what this music has to do with raving. Maybe it's the siren?
What I think: Points for energy, but "meh". They are absolutely HUGE in Britain right now... NME thinks they are the future of music (this week)... but does anyone really believe they'll be remembered even by next year's Coachella? Me neither. I'm so jaded.
I mean, they're not nearly as memorable as this...
So to sum up... Klaxons - Flavor of the Week... A.C. Slater - Eternal!
