33HZ
Look, I don't care if you subsist on A Steady Diet of Nothing, Chocolate and Cheese or American Beer the bottom line is that at some point you have to recognize that you can never be too cool for a good time. Sure, I loved my Minutemen and Primus in High School but that never stopped me from getting into Greg Bott's front seat and swilling straight from a jug of Ernest & Julio Gallo while "Slo-B" by Basscube was realigning my spine through force 10 amplification. No matter what path we've chosen, 33Hz is there to remind us of the things that make the most sense -- a memorable melody, a room full of lovely ladies, and that great smell of Poppin' Fresh dough coming straight from the over. Maybe it's a Long Island thing -- we being from the place where Freestyle and Hair Metal gleefully coexisted in the 80s -- but the boys of 33Hz touch some kind of special nerve. And I'm sure they will for you too. Think how great it would be if you had a bootleg of Cameo performing live in a Six Flags Amusement Park "Sound Booth" before he recorded Cardiac Arrest. So get on the train now people. Although they've been tagged the "American Phoenix" I really think they have a sound more like if you channeled The Fatback Band or Dazz Band through some subtle King Crimson "21st Century Schizoid Man" filter. Sure it's electro funk -- and perhaps I'm stretching because I know a couple of the guys -- but there is something more substantial to their sound. I know it's not brand new (hence the Old Reliable graphic) but today's post really sums up the band's sound and is an absolutely killer track. Check out this download of theire single "Digital Lover" and make sure to head to their web site where you can stream 3 additional tracks. Resources
